yummyinthetummy Recipe | Holiday Manhattan

This recipe is definitely not traditional - except in my family. It is sweet, and meant to be! You will have to do the math for single servings, this is the way I got it from my Grandfather, who always made a batch (or two) for the Holidays.

Ingredients

• ¾ cup white sugar
• ¼ cup hot water
• 1 (750 milliliter) bottle bourbon whiskey
• 1 ¼ cups sweet vermouth
• ¼ cup cherry juice
• 2 teaspoons aromatic bitters

Cooking Directions

1. Dissolve the sugar in hot water in a large pitcher. Stir in the whiskey, vermouth, cherry juice and bitters. Serve in glasses over ice and garnish with a maraschino cherry.
