History & Origin

The Manhattan cocktail originated in New York City in the late 1800s and is one of the most enduring whiskey classics. Zero-proof versions became widely available as non-alcoholic whiskey alternatives advanced in quality. Ritual Zero Proof, Lyre's, and The Zero Proof all publish dedicated NA Manhattan recipes, and craft bars and NA brands like All The Bitter have developed nuanced variations using NA whiskey and botanical bitters alternatives.
