Good but Strong
First off, if you love a bold cocktail then this is definitely a product for you. If you're not into strong drinks then I would caution against this pre-mixed cocktail. It can be mixed with something else to help with the strength but the flavor profile still breaks through.
I tried this a few different ways. It is definitely best enjoyed cold. I put mine over ice but I am storing the bottle in my fridge so future drinks will be fully chilled. At first I tried it straight and as mentioned above it was strong. I then mixed some orange soda into it and that helped to cut the strength, although the flavors of the cocktail still reigned supreme over the added orange.
Overall I will be enjoying this on occasion in the future, but it will not always be the first thing I reach for.
Easier than mixing my own!
I like a good Manhattan, but I'm not great at making them. This ready to drink version was perfect over ice. No worrying about getting the whisky/vermouth ratio just right, it's done for you. I added a maraschino cherry and enjoyed on the rocks.
