Share your finest Manhattan and an innovative original recipe featuring Woodford Reserve for a chance to become the 2022 Master of the Manhattan.
Whether or not you join the competition or advance to the finals in Kentucky, we hope you stay safe and healthy this year.
A typical Manhattan has three ingredients, but a lot more goes into making a memorable version of the timeless classic. Your entries will be evaluated by the judges on the following criteria:
– Taste and Balance
– Creativity, Originality, and Relevance
– Thoughtful Use of Ingredients
– Intelligent Use of Woodford Reserve
– Presentation and Appearance
– Understanding of the Manhattan
Join the competition to enter the running for $5,000.00, a trip to New York City, and the title of 2022 Master of the Manhattan.
