I got this at a cocktail bar in St Andrews, so I'm not sure of the exact amounts, but it came with black cherries on top, chocolate chips on the side, and an ice cube big enough to sink the Titanic.

It was nice! Like my last Manhattan, I was unsure about the flavour after I'd been drinking for a while. Maybe it was a bit sickly for me – again, I'd like to try a Manhattan with rye or Scotch to see if the flavour's better. Still, it was enjoyable and a nice experience. I really felt the booze too.

It cost me £9.50, which is outrageous. I think I'll stick to making my cocktails at home.
