Vigilante
“I wanted to build a Manhattan-style cocktail that leaned less into spice and deep flavors and more into high-toned and floral notes. Apple and douglas fir are a great pair and the softness of the Wild Turkey Rye allows those parts to drive the flavor profile while remaining true to the idea of a Manhattan. The Vigilante also makes an excellent Freezer Bar cocktail.” —TB
