Cocktail Recipe: The Classic Manhattan

November 10, 2021 by jessica Leave a Comment

Cocktail Picks (also available in gold) | Brass Tray | Faux Pine Sprig

I typically opt for a classic Manhattan when we’re cocktailing at home. It’s such an easy, yet sophisticated, cocktail to make which lends itself perfectly to the upcoming holiday season. With just four ingredients (if you include the cherries), a Manhattan relies on quality spirits. I promise that it’s worth spending the extra money, even on the sweet vermouth. (Carpano Antica is my favorite and it should be kept refrigerated.) You’ll find the recipe below. Cheers!

Coupes | Brass Coasters | Tealight Holder | Flameless Tealights | Dining Table

What You’ll Need:

  • Cocktail mixing glass and strainer
  • Mixing spoon
  • Cocktail glass (I prefer the look of a coupe, but a double old fashioned glass works, too.)
  • Jigger

Ingredients:

Makes one serving.

  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters
  • 2 to 2.5 ounces bourbon, depending on how strong you’d like it
  • 1 ounce sweet vermouth
  • Luxardo maraschino cherries

Preparation:

  1. Fill your mixing glass with ice.
  2. Add bitters, vermouth, bourbon.
  3. Stir until well-chilled.
  4. Strain into cocktail glass.
  5. Garnish with cherries.

Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcome Over the weekend, we drove to Michigan and welcomed this little lady to the family! She’s a two-year old snow Bengal that was surrendered after being bullied by the other cats in her home. We’re pretty sure she’s a seal lynx point Bengal, which has Siamese in the lineage, based on her vibrant, slightly crossed blue eyes. She is the sweetest, softest, most playful, and unbelievably talkative little girl. We’re crazy about her! 

We haven’t picked a name just yet, though. We have some ideas, but we’re waiting to get to know her personality more. 😊

Merry Christmas! My own Christmas tree isn’t a Merry Christmas! 

My own Christmas tree isn’t as tinsel’d as this one from the Christmas museum in Salzburg nor does it rotate. Consider these goals for next year.

I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint c I made @csaffitz’s raspberry almond thumbprint cookies and they’re delicious, but a lot of work and they don’t hold up well. If you’re planning on them this year, don’t add the jam dollop until just before you’re ready to serve them. The moisture gets sucked in overnight. Still good, of course, just softer than the first day.
