MULLED MANHATTAN

This classic grape-and-grain mixture came to us from Christopher Tunnah, the general manager and beverage director at the Bedford Post in Bedford, N.Y. It's as jolly and red as a Santa suit, and it derives its Dickensian tang from the nutmeg hints in Angostura bitters and the clove-studded orange flavors of orange bitters. Craving seconds is easy.

Tips:

  • Choose the right whiskey: A good rye whiskey or bourbon is essential for a classic Manhattan. Look for a whiskey with a spicy, robust flavor that will stand up to the other ingredients in the cocktail.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh citrus fruits and herbs will give your Manhattan a bright, lively flavor. Avoid using bottled or jarred juices or herbs, as they can impart a flat, artificial taste.
  • Don't over-sweeten: A Manhattan should be slightly sweet, but not cloying. Use just enough simple syrup or vermouth to balance out the bitterness of the whiskey.
  • Garnish with style: A classic Manhattan is typically garnished with a cherry or an orange twist. For a more festive touch, you can also use a cinnamon stick or a sprig of rosemary.

The Manhattan is a timeless classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion.
