On The Rocks Manhattan Ready-to-Serve Cocktail

Product Description

On The Rocks Manhattan: A Bar-Quality Classic, Ready to Pour

The On The Rocks Manhattan is a ready-to-serve version of the classic whiskey cocktail, built on Basil Hayden Dark Rye. Everything is already in the bottle: rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, bitters, and natural flavors, blended and properly diluted. You don’t need a shaker, a stirring glass, or a bartender. Pour it over ice, add a cherry or an orange twist, and you have a Manhattan in seconds.

On The Rocks is a premium cocktail brand created with master mixologists, and the Manhattan was introduced as a limited-release addition to its portfolio. The brand describes it as a spicy complexity, balanced by the fruity notes of sweet vermouth and topped off with the acidity of bitters. It’s bottled at 32.5% ABV (65 proof), strong enough to taste like the real thing.

What’s in the Bottle

According to the brand, it’s made with Basil Hayden Dark Rye, which blends Kentucky straight rye whiskey with Canadian rye whisky and a touch of port, plus sweet vermouth, bitters, and natural flavors. That rye-forward base gives it a spicier, drier backbone than a typical bourbon Manhattan.

How Many Drinks?

A 375ml bottle holds 12.7 ounces. The label counts 8.5 servings at 1.5 ounces, and for a standard 3-ounce Manhattan, that’s about four full cocktails, enough for a couple’s night in or a small gathering. Per serving, the brand lists 86 calories and 1.7 grams of carbohydrate.

Appearance: Deep amber.

Aroma: Oak and caramel, with dried fruit and spice.

Serving Suggestions

Pour 2 to 3 ounces over a large ice cube in a rocks glass, or chill the bottle and serve it up in a coupe. Garnish with a brandied cherry or an orange twist. For a stronger drink, serve it neat or with a splash of whiskey.
