Why not set up a "Manhattan" side bar for your next gathering? I needed a recipe for a big crowd I could make ahead of time and found this easy one on Seriouseats. Signature cocktails are always a great idea. Instead of taking drink orders, you will enjoy your friends and family. Cheers!🍸
This recipe will serve 8-10 cocktails and yields 32 ounce18 ounces rye whiskey ( I like Makersmark), 9 ounces sweet vermouth, 18 dashes Hellabitters, 5 ounces filtered or bottled water (not mineral). Using a funnel, pour rye, vermouth, bitters and water into a pitcher. Chill well and stir before serving.
Garnishes on the side: Makers Mark Bourbon cocktail cherries and lemon twists (& ice)
Not entertaining and want to treat yourself to a Manhattan this weekend?
2 ounces rye whiskey, 1 ounce sweet vermouth, 2 dashes bitters, 1 dash orange bitters. Add to an iced glass and stir. Garnish with a lemon twist or brandied cherry. (found at liquor or grocery store). Binny's Beverage Depot is at the top of my list for beverages when entertaining.
A birthday shout out to our Grandson, Ryder. We couldn't be more proud of you and love you all the love in the world! You're AMAZING!
