Manhattan Ginger Beer

A classic Manhattan deserves a proper alcohol-free glow-up, and this one delivers with a spicy ginger beer twist. It’s the kind of drink that feels right at home at a dinner party, a quiet Friday night in, or anywhere you want something that sips slow and still feels like a ritual.

Watch it come together here:

Ingredients

• 60ml AF Bourbon (Barnes & Brown Southern Belle Bourbon Inspired)
• 30ml AF vermouth
• A few dashes of bitters
• Bundaberg Ginger Beer, to taste
• Blackberries or maraschino cherry, to garnish
• Ice

Method

1. Add the Barnes & Brown Southern Belle Bourbon Inspired, vermouth and bitters to a shaker with ice.
2. Shake well.
3. Pour into a rocks glass over your blackberries or maraschino cherry.
4. Top with Bundaberg Ginger Beer, to taste.

Why you’ll love it: Oaky, caramel-rich bourbon meets herbal vermouth and a bittersweet edge, then gets a spicy, fizzy lift from the ginger beer. Adjust the ratio to suit your mood.

Serving tip: Less ginger beer gives you a stronger, more classic Manhattan character. More ginger beer makes it spicy, fizzy, and dangerously easy to love.
