Postcards from New York

Postcards from New York is a classic cocktail gift set: the Manhattan, the Bronx, the Brooklyn and the Queens – four ready-to-drink New York cocktails named after the city's boroughs, made with Bulleit Bourbon and Tanqueray Gin. Just pour over ice.

New York gave the world some of its most iconic cocktails, and Patrick Pistolesi has bottled the city's spirit in four stirred classics – from the rich, bittersweet Manhattan to the bright orange Bronx. A must for bourbon and whiskey lovers, Old Fashioned and Manhattan fans, and anyone who's left a little of their heart in the Big Apple.
