Had another go at the Manhattan. This time with Bulleit, Noilly Prat, and cherry bitters. Much better, I think what made the difference was changing up the bitters.
I'm down with the sickness.
Lush much?
To be honest, I've tried and tried again, but I don't think Manhattans are for me. I find the Sazerac to be a far superior use of rye.
Second try of the night. I was using Angostura and I do have some of the Fee Bros. Then I remembered I have some Stirrings Blood Orange in the fridge. Rittenhouse 25+Vya Sweet+Stirrings=good
Tell me about tires being a pain. I purchased some non-runflats to swap with the uber rigid runflats on my car. An untrained monkey at Firestone used some sort of primitive tool to remove the OEM tires and damaged the rims. Long story short I had a new set of rims by the end of the week and they let me keep the ones they damaged. Scored some winter wheels for the headache.
Hopefully I can make a decent Manhattan now.
Couldn't pass on this one
