Manhattan Cocktail Histamine Information

The Manhattan Cocktail, a classic alcoholic beverage, contains ingredients such as whisky, sweet vermouth, and angostura bitters. Analysing these ingredients in relation to their histamine content and influence, one can draw logical conclusions about their potential impact. Whisky, being an alcoholic beverage, is known to delay the breakdown of histamine, potentially leading to elevated histamine levels in the body over time. However, specific studies examining the histamine content of whisky seem to be lacking, therefore a definitive conclusion can't be drawn regarding whisky specifically. Sweet vermouth, another alcohol-based ingredient in the Manhattan, can be similar but its direct impact is uncertain due to inadequate studies on its histamine content or influence. Nevertheless, alcohol in general is known to contribute to enhancing histamine response. Angostura bitters, the third key ingredient in the Manhattan, don't appear to have any well-documented associations with histamine. They do contain alcohol, but the volume is often very small due to their usage in typically minuscule quantities in most cocktails. However, some variants can contain certain botanicals or substances that could theoretically act as histamine liberators, promoting its release. Yet, specific studies on Angostura bitters with reference to histamine content or impact seem to be lacking. In conclusion, the Manhattan Cocktail, due to its alcoholic constituents, could potentially elevate histamine levels in the body indirectly by delaying its breakdown. However, data specific to its ingredients, or the cocktail as a whole, hasn't been researched well enough to publish any definitive information. Our team is working hard on this, data will be available soon.
