Big Star's High Time Manhattan Recipe
[Photograph: Roger Kamholz]
New for fall, Big Star's High Time Manhattan takes full advantage of the Chicago taco-and-whiskey bar's House Selected Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit, a single-barrel bourbon hand picked at the Wild Turkey distillery earlier this year by the bar staff for its distinctive richness and flavor. While you can't go out and buy a bottle of Big Star's own Kentucky Spirit, try making a High Time Manhattan at home using the Kentucky Spirit you find at your liquor store, or your favorite premium, high-proof bourbon.
