ERIE, PA \u2014 Blind Tiger, the award-winning premium non-alcoholic cocktail brand, today announced the launch of its newest varietal: the classic Manhattan, debuting as a limited-time offering (LTO) available exclusively on its website and direct order beginning April 1, 2026.<\/p>\n
The Manhattan is crafted to deliver the depth, structure, and ritual of the iconic cocktail\u2014without the alcohol. The expression features layered notes of rich vermouth, cherry bark bitters, subtle rosemary, and a warm aromatic finish, designed to mirror the complexity and balance of a traditional Manhattan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Manhattan is one of the most respected drinks in cocktail history,\u201d said Rebecca Styn, Founder of Blind Tiger. \u201cWhen we recreated it, we held it to the same standard\u2014structure, depth, and experience\u2014just without the alcohol.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Manhattan cocktail dates back to the 1870s at the Manhattan Club in New York City, with early references appearing in O.H. Byron\u2019s The Modern Bartender\u2019s Guide (1884). Its enduring simplicity\u2014traditionally whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters\u2014has made it one of the most recognizable cocktails globally.<\/p>\n
Blind Tiger\u2019s spirit-free interpretation maintains that integrity through a clean-label formulation, resulting in a full-bodied, aromatic experience designed for slow sipping.<\/p>\n
The Manhattan will initially be released in limited quantities as a direct-to-consumer offering, allowing the brand to gather early feedback before expanding. The product is expected to roll into broader retail and wholesale distribution in mid-to-late summer 2026.<\/p>\n
Blind Tiger\u2019s portfolio of spirit-free cocktails is currently available in over 1,600 locations nationwide and across major hospitality platforms, including cruise lines, hotels, and entertainment venues.<\/p>\n
