Ruth's Chris Manhattan Eastside Recipe

Ruth's Chris has a unique twist on the classic Manhattan cocktail that you need to try—meet the Manhattan Eastside, a concoction that adds a refreshing ginger kick to the traditional mix.
It’s made with bourbon, ginger liqueur, and house-made lemon sour, creating both a smooth and invigorating drink.
One trick to enhancing this cocktail is using Domaine de Canton ginger liqueur for its aromatic and nuanced quality.
I really like how the warming bourbon is balanced with vibrant citrus and zesty ginger, making it ideal for gatherings or a cozy evening at home.
