This is the perfect Manhattan, it has bourbon whiskey, bitters, vermouth and my homemade pickled cherries as a garnish.
I made some pickled Cherries. I am kind of on a pickling kick. I was thinking about some recipes I could use that would incorporate them.
I love Julia Childs recipes and she uses Vermouth. She cooked a lot with wine but sometimes she said to use Vermouth. I have never made anything with Vermouth. I dont think I have ever tasted it. In fact I bought some Vermouth a few months ago and I am just now getting around to using it.
I can say now I have enjoyed Vermouth. I enjoyed it in a Manhattan and it is fantastic.
This drink is more of a sipper. It has whiskey it it and it is very strong for my taste, I know, I know, I am kind of a light weight when it comes to booze.
It was a very good drink. I think that my Pickled Cherries add to the deliciousness.
