Selfridges department store is reviving part of the iconic Savoy Cocktail Collection by releasing a pre-bottled Manhattan cocktail. The Savoy is a historic and iconic hotel known for being luxurious -- especially when it comes to cocktails.
The gorgeously decorated bottle contains a traditional stir of whisky, sweet vermouth and two types of bitters -- all of which are ingredients of the classic cocktail. To add to its high-quality ingredients, the concoction is made with precise mixology skills by the head bartender of the American Bar, Eric Lorincz, and is set in wood conditioning and rests in individual glass jars for a month.
The limited-edition bottle is reportedly the best Manhattan money can buy, but comes at a price of £225.
