Elderflower Manhattan
This Elderflower Manhattan is a spring-forward twist on the classic—light, floral, and just a little unexpected. It keeps that rich, bourbon backbone but softens it with delicate elderflower and bright, slightly tart bitters. The result is elegant, balanced, and perfect for warmer days.
