When it comes to the booze, @truecostsingapore is my new true love. All of their astoundingly affordable alcoholic libations are priced so inexpensively, from their $7.50++ glasses of wine to this $11.50++ Manhattan. And no, this ain’t some cheap watered down cocktail, this comely concoction is almost as strong as Brian Shaw.⠀

Although I’m not sure what bourbon they used, I do know they used a copious amount of it due to the cocktail being quite spirit forward and sweet. Even though there’s a more generous pour than usual, the overall balance of flavours & aromas was unbroken. The sweet vermouth added a velvety mouthfeel and extra weight to the cocktail, while the herbal bitterness of the angostura rebalanced the sweetness, and the aroma made the Manhattan even more appealing.⠀

If you’re craving a punchy cocktail that won’t burn a hole in your pocket, True Cost is truly unbeatable.
