SARATOGA HOLIDAY COCKTAIL
This festive drink is based on the Saratoga cocktail, a riff on a Manhattan that first appeared in Jerry Thomas's "The Bar-Tender's Guide" in 1862. It's named after the New York State resort town famous for its mineral springs. This version incorporates brandied dried fruit, which carries notes of citrus and warming spices. The bitters help bring out the currant and cranberry notes in the fruit. Garnish with a twist of orange or a grating of nutmeg.
