perfect

[Oldfart9999]

It's not cooking per say but can make a meal better, it's a "Perfect Manhattan".
1. One shot of good bar grade whiskey. No a bourbon manhattan is not a manhattan it's a bourbon mix and a waste of bourbon which should be consumed neat.
2. 2 shots of sweet vermouth.
3 a splash of cherry juice but I prefer grenadine.
4. Top with cherry, my wife like to eat them, she doesn't like the drink, just the cherries, go figure.
I used to have to make them for my dad when I was a kid, he got the recipe from a bartender friend who worked at an upscale restaurant. Lately I've been ordering one as a pre meal drink, specially if the meal will be beef or pork. What I find surprising is the number of times I have to tell them what it is, I'm surprised, made right and they're very good.
