Food & Drink

Manhattan Cocktail



These are prefect drinks for Fall and Winter. I know that its still Summer but I can't wait for Fall I love sweaters and bourbon. So I looked this up on dinkmixers.com and here is the recipe they had.

3/4 oz sweet vermouth
2 1/2 oz bourbon whiskey
1 dash Angostura® bitters
1 maraschino cherry
1 twist orange peel

Combine the vermouth, bourbon whiskey, and bitters with 2 - 3 ice cubes in a mixing glass. Stir gently, don't bruise the spirits and cloud the drink. Place the cherry in a chilled cocktail glass and strain the whiskey mixture over the cherry. Rub the cut edge of the orange peel over the rim of the glass and twist it over the drink to release the oils but don't drop it in.

VARIATION: No bitters. Substitute a twist of lime for the cherry and orange. Hold the lime twist in a lighted match over the drink and then drop it in. The heat really zips up the lime flavor.

Photo Pic

I Like That.

I use to listen to Kings of Leon a good 4 years ago and I really enjoyed them. For some reason when I started to hear them on the radio I decided I was too good for them.......yes I was being a music snob. So today I was sitting at work and I had listen to all my music like 5 times over and I turn on the radio. Well Kings of Leon Sex on Fire was playing and I had heard it before but for some reason this time it really hooked me. There I was wanting more and all I had was the old album.....so I broke down and just purchased it off itunes and to tell you the truth I'm not disappointed. And I really like the cd cover. I like that Kings of Leon.....will never be a snob to them again.
