Recently I’ve been shedding my bartending chops…
After being a regular customer at many of the fine cocktail bars hidden in nooks & crannys all throughout our fair city I was struck with the revelation that I could make & partake in amazing drinking without leaving the comforts of my own bedroom…
At this point the quality of my ingredients is greater then my technique…and lo how I need some dedicated cocktail tools! But alas, my creations are becoming tastier & more balanced and my success ratio is higher then a Hall of Fame Baseball slugger but lower then a member of the Chicago Symphony.
Simple but effective: Start with a Manhattan:
-3 Parts RYE Whiskey (Rye Kills Bourbon!!!)
-1 Part Sweet Vermouth (Dolan as per Selengut)
-Dash of Bitters (Angostura traditionally but experiment)
Stir on Ice & garnish with dried Bing cherries that you have soaked in Brandy…
Cheers!
