From New York, via Philadelphia, to Brum! Join us in welcoming this Big Apple special

The beat of New York has arrived in Brum with the arrival of our latest swanky cocktail bar. Complete with neon signs, disco balls and plush booths, Manhatta is well known for creating Instagrammable havens with stunning cocktails at the ready. To whet your appetite, here’s the recipe for their Queen of Hearts – a twist on a Clover Club, the classic raspberry gin cocktail that originated in Philadelphia during pre-prohibition times. It’s slightly tart with a fresh fruit finish and it’s utterly delicious. As always, please enjoy responsibly.

INGREDIENTS

30ml Bombay Bramble
15ml Martini Rosso
15ml Raspberry syrup
22.5ml Lemon juice

METHOD

Shake and strain the Bombay Bramble, Martini Rosso, raspberry syrup and lemon juice in a Boston shaker then fine strain into a coup glass. If you want to really go for it, top with a hibiscus foam, but you might need to pop into the bar to get tips on how to make it!
