“A classic american tipple, the Manhattan is the canvas for this liquid art that we put a twist on with some rich, extravagant flavours,” says the drink’s creator, Krisztian Csigo. “The complimentary chocolate garnish is made by us from 70% cacao content super high quality chocolate nibs, that first we temper to give a nice snap to the bite. Later the shards are roughly painted with coloured cocoa butter to showcase how the artist studio would have looked like after his neo-expressionist sessions.”
