  • Jigger or measuring cup: For precise measurements.
  • Stirring spoon: Mixes ingredients without shaking.

Ingredients

Here's what I need to make a delicious Red Velvet Manhattan:

  • 2 oz bourbon or rye whiskey
  • 1 oz sweet vermouth
  • 1 oz red velvet cake liqueur
  • 1 dash chocolate bitters
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional garnishes include a maraschino cherry or an orange twist both adding a nice touch to the presentation.

Instructions

To make this cocktail:

  • Fill the cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  • Pour in whiskey, sweet vermouth, and red velvet cake liqueur.
  • Add a dash of chocolate bitters.
  • Stir gently for 20-30 seconds until chilled.
  • Use the strainer to pour the mix into the chilled martini glass.
  • Add the garnish of your choice.

Now, it's time to enjoy! 🍸

    Notes

    This Red Velvet Manhattan is a sweet and smooth twist on the original. Feel free to adjust the sweetness by experimenting with the amount of red velvet cake liqueur. I also try different bitters for varied flavor profiles. If you make any changes, share what works best for you in the comments below! 😊
