Steve's Peach Manhattan

manhattan · bourbon · rye

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 bourbonsubstituted for the vermouth in the Classic recipe
