Fall is my favourite time of year, mainly because it’s chilly enough to enjoy a delicious whisky-based cocktail. I’ve finally come around to enjoying the Manhattan cocktail. It took time, just like my enjoyment of whisky, but now I like the taste. And recently, I’ve experimented on how to make the perfect Manhattan drink at home.
The Manhattan cocktail is one that I like as it’s not only a classic, but also very simple to make. For those who aren’t straight whisky fans, the best way to enjoy this type of liquor is in a drink. Why not enjoy it in something sophisticated and delicious?
Make The Manhattan at Home
INGREDIENTS
2 dashes Angostura bitters
1 dash orange bitters
2 oz bourbon or whiskey (or Canadian whisky)
1 oz sweet vermouth
1 brandied cherry for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Chill a champagne coupe glass or cocktail class with a couple of ice cubes. You can also use a lowball glass as an alternative.
In a cocktail mixing glass or shaker, add ice. Add all ingredients and stir until they are well mixed.
Strain into the chilled glass. Garnish with a brandied cherry.
Cheers!
