My Father’s day special: The Manhattan

The Manhattan

Happy father’s day to all dads, especially mine who his always working hard to make us happy! My dad isn’t a cocktail enthusiast. He likes the occasional wine glass in special occasions but that’s about it.

Like you know if you’re used to read this blog, I love cocktails, and it’s my first Father’s day this year! I’m the proud father of a beautiful 6 months-old baby girl. Since my little Daphnée is too young to handle a shaker and spirits, I will have to prepare my own Father’s day cocktail on her behalf. 😀

My all-time favorite old-fashioned cocktail is the Manhattan. I never get tired of its fine and intricate taste. And what a beautiful drink, classy! There is also something magical about the Manhattan. When you’re holding one, you’ll feel like you’re always correct, and you are, trust me. 😉

The Manhattan

  • 2 part Rye Whiskey
  • 1/2 part Sweet Red Vermouth
  • 2-3 dashes of Angostura Bitters
  • Maraschino Cherry for garnish
  • Ice

Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice cubes and stir well. Personally, I prefer to do it in a shaker, it’s manlier ;). Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and add a maraschino cherry.

Happy Father’s Day
