Very Cherry Manhattan


My husband came up with this drink for me as a twist on a classic Manhattan.  I must say, it's pretty tasty!  I wouldn't mind if this became an evening ritual!

To make a Very Cherry Manhattan, you will need:
  • Bourbon
  • Sweet vermouth
  • Cherry bark vanilla bitters
  • Jar of cherries
Combine 2 parts bourbon and 1 part sweet vermouth over ice. 

Add a dash of cherry bark vanilla bitters, two cherries, and a tiny dribble of the cherry juice. 

Stir, and enjoy!  Best served with an episode of Mad Men.

Planning on making this over the weekend?  Snap a picture and send it to me: holly[at]goeslightly[dot]com and you could be featured on the blog!
