I have been drinking a cocktail I made during the pandemic lock down last year. Its my take on the classic Manhattan.
The general ingredient list is…
- 50ml rye whiskey (bourbon)
- 25ml sweet red vermouth
- 2 dashes Angostura bitters
- orange peel, to garnish (optional)
- maraschino cherry, to garnish (optional)
However I made two changes…
- 50ml rye whiskey (bourbon)
- 25ml fireball cinnamon whisky
- 3 dashes Angostura bitters
- orange peel, to garnish (optional)
- maraschino cherry, to garnish (optional)
The taste is obviously deeply cinnamon with a strong taste of bourbon and a small hint of orange. The name speaks for its self.
I did try making it the other way too, switching the rye for fireball but it was a little much cinnamon, but still a interesting taste.
Enjoy!
