COCKTAIL RECIPE

Classic Christmas Manhattan Cocktail

The classic Manhattan cocktail is made extra festive in this Christmas Manhattan Cocktail recipe.

Let’s get started!

It mixes your choice of bourbon or rye with pomegranate juice, pomegranate molasses, and bitters for a delightfully nuanced flavor that’s neither too boozy nor too fruity.

CHILL GLASSES

1. Chill the Glasses. Place two coupe or cocktail glasses in the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes so they are well chilled before serving.

MIX

2. Mix the Cocktail. In a mixing glass, combine 4 ounces rye or bourbon, 1 ounce sweet vermouth, ¾ ounce pomegranate juice, ½ teaspoon pomegranate molasses, and 4 dashes bitters. Stir without ice for about 10 seconds—this dissolves the molasses fully into the liquid.

ADD

3. Add ice to the mixing glass and stir again for 20 to 25 seconds. Stirring chills the drink while adding the right amount of dilution for balance.
