Manhattans by the Bottle

Or, I should say, Manhattans by DTG.

On the 23rd, I received a text from my stepfather proclaiming that we would be drinking Manhattans on Christmas Eve. Unbeknownst to me, he had been given a gift from his buddy Dan. It was a bottle of ready-to-go Manhattans, complete with Old Forester Signature bourbon, sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters and a little cherry juice.

So- on the 24th, we gathered around the tree and grabbed some glasses and ice.

It was strong and it was damn good. No work necessary. Pop and pour. Dan- you’re my hero!!

PS- My stepsister Katherine gave me my favorite gift of…ever. A sweater cozy for a bottle of Maker’s Mark. What every proper Kentuckian needs!

Cheers!
