Or wherever you are, it’s that time of year. Costco shared a recipe for a Holiday Manhattan to promote their Kirkland Tennessee Whiskey. While we don’t doubt their hooch is pretty good we’re using good ol’ Jack Daniel’s No. 7 Tennessee Sour Mash Whiskey.
- 5 dashes of bitters [for a festive flair, try using chocolate or cocoa bitters (neither of which we have)]
- 1/2 oz cranberry juice
- 1/2 oz cherry syrup (we like the syrup from a jar of Luxardo Marischino Cherries)
- s2 oz Tennessee Whiskey
- 1/2 oz sweet vermouth
They say stir with ice and strain. We prefer to shake in shaker with ice and pour into a chilled martini glass. Your choice.
Happy Holidays!
