Dec 02, 2013, Updated Oct 04, 2023 Plus, you might need to take the edge off after your crazy weekend of black friday shopping. Right? This one definitely takes all edges off. Yes, things will be lovely and round… It is, after all, a boozy Manhattan – The cast: bourbon, dry vermouth and a few drops of bitters. Made Merry with a yummy ginger-cinnamon-cardamom infused syrup. Mmmm hmmm. The syrup is easy to make – just dissolve sugar in water on the stove, then throw in some goodies and let them bathe for an hour or so to let their flavours bloom and make things delicious. The recipe makes more syrup than you’ll need today. Unless it was indeed a very strenuous shopping weekend. (You weren’t at WalMart, were you?!?!) Leftover syrup can be stored in a jar for another Merry Manhattan Monday, can be used to make this Dark & Stormy or use it to sweeten your tea or coffee for a festive wake-up. OR brush it over a cake before frosting it to keep it moist and add some spice! Or drizzle over Perfect French Toast! Or to sweeten a winter fruit salad (pears! apples! pomegranate!). Ok, I’ll stop now. Christmas drinks should, first and foremost, be pretty! Sugared cranberries on swizzle sticks make that happen.
