Manhattan for the Irish

This Manhattan is a twist on the classic. It adds in some Irish whisky just like they did in New York. I love a good Manhattan cocktail for something strong. It can be a fun break in the week especially if it's already feeling like a long one (like this one since there was a very fun holiday over the weekend). As we close out March, this one is for the Irish.
