Steve's Peach Manhattan

manhattanbourbonrye

Late summer, when the good peaches are gone and you want one anyway. The peach bourbon is standing in for the vermouth, so there's no wine softening anything — it's whiskey holding hands with whiskey, and the bitters are the only adult present. I keep making them into October, which says more about me than the peaches.

Ingredients

  • 2 ozBourbon or rye
  • 1 ozPeach bourbon — substituted for the vermouth in the Classic recipe
  • 2 dashesAngostura bitters
  • 1 dashOrange bitters

Garnish

Brandied cherry
