CLASSIC NYC THE HOME AND BIRTH PLACE TO SOME OF THE GREATEST COCKTAILS IN THE WORLD. WE’VE BROUGHT YOU SOME OF THE BEST NEW YORK HAS TO OFFER, SO LET YOURSELF BE TRANSPORTED TO A WHOLE DIFFERENT WORLD OF CLASS.
Manhattan _
The King of Cocktails with a history as deep rooted in drinks culture as any other drink. Many stories surround the birth of this classic including probably the most widely known being that it was made for Lady Randolph Churchill, a New York socialite, in 1874 at the Manhattan club. Historians now dispute it as she was actually in England giving birth to dear old Winston at the time of this story. Our favourite is that it was simply created by a bartender called Black who kept a place ten doors below Houston Street on Broadway in the 1860s.
Traditionally made using rye whiskey and a combination of vermouths. Now enjoyed with bourbons, the Manhattan is a versatile drink and most people have their own preference of whiskey and vermouth. It can also be served dry, perfect or sweet depending on your palate.
Here at Manahatta we believe the best combination to enjoy this fine drink is held in a beautiful blend of Old Forester bourbon, Cocchi Torino and Angostura bitters. Made in a sweet style.
£8.00 Drinks menu_Layout 1 31/10/2014 14:07 Page 3
Manahatta Bronx _
New York's pre prohibition classic. Archives at the Waldorf Astoria indicate it was invented there in the early 1900s by bartender Johnnie Solan. Our version of the cocktail contains Tanqueray gin, Cocchi Torino, Giffard dry orange curacao and Bitter Truth orange bitters.
£7.25
Bloody Mary _
Whilst it is well known the Bloody Mary was invented at Harry's New York Bar in Paris it is thought that this drink made its US debut at the King Cole Bar in the prestigious St Regis Hotel Midtown Manhattan. Any bar may be judged on its Bloody Mary so in this version we mix Russian Standard vodka, tomato, citrus and a secret homemade spice mix.
£6.50
A Royal Weekend at The Waldorf _
An adaptation of the New York Rum based classic which first hit the print in the 1951 publication of Bottoms Up by Ted Saucier. Rum entered the New York drinking scene during the latter stages of prohibition as other alcohol sources dried up. Once prohibition was lifted rum boomed as the Whiskey distilleries weren’t ready to cope with the volumes required. This version includes Santa Teresa Claro, Giffard dry orange curacao, lime, strawberry and prosecco.
£7.00
Clover Club _
A very popular cocktail which actually pre dates prohibition and was originally named for the Philadelphia men's club who used to meet in the Bellevue Hotel. This cocktail inspired the opening of well-respected NYC joint of the same name and a must visit if in the area. Bombay Sapphire gin is classically mixed with lemon juice, egg white and a homemade raspberry syrup.

Downtown THE CITY THAT NEVER SLEEPS WITH SOMETHING TO OFFER EVERYONE. A SELECTION OF DRINKS TO EMBODY THE GLITZ AND GLAMOUR OF THE BIG APPLE AND BRIGHTEN UP THE NIGHTLIFE OF DOWNTOWN LEEDS.
Big Yellow Cab _
Taxis first started roaming the streets of New York as early as July 1897 but in a very different form to the iconic yellow cab now so well known. The colour yellow is an indicator it is allowed to pick up in the five boroughs of NYC. This tribute cocktail created by Declan McGurk (Bar Manager American Bar, The Savoy) is a Four Roses bourbon sour with the addition of Suze and elderflower liqueur.
£7.00
Maid In Cuba _
In the early 2000s a new NYC category of cocktails formed called the Maid. This drink is the globally renowned creation of Bacardi Legacy Champion Tom Walker. Bacardi is mixed with fresh lime, mint, cucumber, soda and absinthe.
£6.75
5th Avenue Fizz _
A NYC twist on the New Orleans classic the Ramos gin Fizz which certainly is a bartender favourite to be consumed but not always to prepare. The Bombay Sapphire gin base is complemented with Ratifia, lemon, lime, double cream, pomegranate and egg white.
£7.50
The Goddess of Love _
This Tapatio Blanco tequila based refreshing cocktail is a tribute to NYC's flagship home of tequila, Mayahuel, which takes its name from an ancient mexican goddess. It is thought that tequila has certain powers in the art of lovemaking so we enhance these with Cocchi Rosa, Aperol, lemon, pink grapefruit, pomegranate, and soda.
£7.25 Drinks menu_Layout 1 31/10/2014 14:07 Page 5
Rolling Stone _
The Rolling Stone is a signature cocktail of World Bartender of the Year 2011 and 2012 Erik Lorincz who holds the prestigious title of Head Bartender at The American Bar, The Savoy. This Russian Standard vodka based cocktail contains Campari, lemon, egg white, pineapple and passion fruit syrup, raspberry and soda.
£6.75
Little Italy _
The Italian community of New York have long influenced many aspects of the city, particularly its drinking habits. To sensually visualise this influence a bitter sweet Italian vermouth is the base in particular Cocchi Vermouth Amaro. This strong in character cocktail sees the vermouth married with Cocchi Rosa and calvados with a touch of Chartreuse.
£7.50
La Farmacia _
New York bartender Sam Ross created a cocktail known as Penicillin during the last decade whilst he was behind the bar at Milk and Honey. The original is with scotch whisky however our latino twist mixes El Jimador tequila, Illegal mezcal, fresh ginger, citrus juices, Solerno blood orange liqueur and agave nectar. Finished with a warming shot of Wray & Nephew rum.
£7.50
Sinatra Select _
Frank Sinatra's song 'New York New York' so often is used to round off a great year and kick off a new one so there had to be a tribute to the great man of the stage. This cocktail is created by Luca Corradini (Bartender The American Bar, The Savoy) and has a base that Sinatra was buried with, Jack Daniels Gentleman Jack, Grand Marnier, Giffard chocolate liqueur, and Cocchi Americano.

£7.00

Blood and Sand _
Considered to be one of the few truly classic Scotch drinks, first appearing in the Savoy cocktail book 1930, this cocktail was based on a movie of the same name based on a bullfighter and tragic love triangle. To do justice to the original we use Johnnie Walker black label, Cherry Heering, Cocchi Torino, orange juice.
£7.25
