Bourbon is such a good booze for fall. It's rich and warming and goes well with all those other fall flavors. And since a glass of bourbon with a splash of water would make for a very short blog post (although a pretty good drink), I thought I'd share this bourbon Manhattan today. Manhattans are traditionally made with rye, but bourbon is a great alternative.
Remember when I recommended that we all bug our bartenders? (Sorry, bartenders.) Well I had to find out about the gorgeous mixing glasses the bartenders were using at Eleven Madison Park. Turns out they're from Bull in China, which sells some fine looking barware and sends a cocktail recipe along with your order. Killer. So glad I asked.
THE BOURBON MANHATTAN
2 ounce bourbon (I'm using Basil Hayden's today)
1 ounce sweet vermouth (such as Tribuno)
A couple dashes angostura bitters (I had Peychaud's on hand)
Cocktail cherries
Fill mixing glass with ice. Add bourbon, vermouth, and bitters and stir. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with cherry.
Cheers!
