Paris Manhattan

From the bar teams at Asheville Proper and Little D’s, two sister restaurants located in North Carolina, comes blossoming new cocktails – one of which is the flavorful and dynamic “Paris Manhattan.”

Inspired by the classic Manhattan, the Paris Manhattan is a floral-forward libation crafted with St. Germain Elderflower Liqueur, resulting in a sweeter and more refreshing alternative to the traditional cocktail. The cocktail also features Rye, Dry Vermouth, and Angostura Bitters, making for a gorgeous summertime sipper.
