A little about this dish
Summer is here and what's better than a refreshing cocktail! Our 'Peachy Manhattan' is inspired by the classic Manhattan cocktail but with a twist of seasonal peaches to give it a fruity and refreshing taste. The peach juice and garnish perfectly complement the warmth of bourbon whiskey and add a fun pop of color to the glass.
