While The Cork and Board has everything you may need for fine wine, New England craft beer, specialty foods and gifts, we also have the perfect accompaniments for your Fall cocktails. One of our favorite cocktails is the classic Manhattan. With a few modifications, however, it can be turned into the perfect Fall beverage.
Flavorful and booze-forward, this Manhattan has sweet notes of orange and cherry thanks to a red vermouth made in Montefalco (Umbria, Italy) and wild Italian Amarena cherries, as well as Vermont sourced organic orange maple bitters and WhistlePig maple syrup by Runamok Maple. Substitute WhistlePig bourbon to minimize spice and increase the sweetness of your cocktail.
Ingredients:
4 oz. WhistlePig Rye Whisky
1/2 oz. Raina Vermouth Numero Uno
1 Tsp. WhistlePig Runamok Maple Syrup
3 dashes Runamok Maple Orange Bitters
1 Filthy wild Italian Amarena cherry
