The king of cocktails meets Colorado craft—timeless, elegant, and stirred to perfection.
If there’s one cocktail that separates the casual drinkers from the true believers, it’s the Manhattan. Two ounces of Ella Jones Bourbon Whiskey,, sweet vermouth, and a couple dashes of Angostura bitters, stirred exactly 50 times until properly chilled and diluted. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just one of the world’s most perfect cocktails, made better with 100% Colorado grain-to-glass bourbon.
Our Ella Jones (75% corn, 15% rye, 10% malted barley) brings the caramel sweetness, spicy rye backbone, and smooth finish that a proper Manhattan demands. The vermouth adds herbal complexity, the bitters tie everything together, and that Luxardo cherry? That’s your reward for doing it right.
Strained into a chilled coupe and garnished like the icon it is, this is the cocktail you order when you want to remind everyone at the bar that you have excellent taste.
The Vibe: Old-school elegance meets modern craft spirit quality
The Occasion: Date nights, celebrations, or proving you know what you’re doing
The Move: Count those 50 stirs—proper dilution is everything
A century-old classic, elevated with bourbon that respects tradition while tasting like Colorado. Cheers to that.
