We get a lot of recipes from liquor companies, but few are any good. Most of their so-called signature drinks wind up being too heavy handed with the product they are pushing. A notable exception are the fine folks at St. Germain, who consistently craft good drinks made with the elderflower liqueur.
Case in point is the Paris Manhattan, a twist on the classic made with St. Germain, which actually enhances the flavor of the bourbon. The 'Parisian' touch is light and flirty without being too frou frou. We'd raise a glass to the creator of the drink, if we knew who he or she is...
Paris Manhattan

2oz Bourbon
1oz St. Germain

Pour ingredients into an ice filled shaker and stir until cold, strain into a martini glass.
