Bubbly Manhattan

As the name suggests, this is a variant on the traditional Manhattan, with a good, bitter IPA standing in for the traditional dash of bitters. The bubbles are just an added bonus. I don't shake the beer together with the whiskey and vermouth, because I it loses just a bit of that effervescence that you're adding the beer for -- so I pour it into the glass at the same time as straining the whiskey. I also think that an orange slice brings out the flavors of the whiskey better than the traditional maraschino cherry, and has the added benefit of looking like something that exists naturally on the planet Earth. You can up the ante a bit by substituting a sliced kumquat for the orange slice. - Collin
