Manhattan-Tini

1 oz. Angel’s Envy port-finished bourbon
2 oz. Cocchi Americano (Americano-style blanc vermouth)
½ oz. blanc verjuice (I prefer Fusion)
Lemon peel, for garnish

Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir over ice to chill and dilute. Strain into a Nick & Nora glass or small coupe. Garnish with lemon peel.

Optional finishes: atomized citrus salt saline (4 parts water, 1 part salt) and/or 4 to 5 drops of first-press extra-virgin olive oil.

Notice how we all default to negativity? One wrong word and the replies flood with outrage, superiority, and performative judgment. This constant narcissistic cycle—making everything about *our* feelings, *our* offense, *our* hot take—is exhausting and pointless.

We’re wired for it, sure, but we don’t have to feed it. Let’s kill the reflex to tear down and start choosing better: empathy, nuance, and actually adding value. The timeline (and the world) would be a lot healthier if we did.

Who’s with me? Drop the negativity addiction.
