Celebrate National Bourbon Heritage Month: A Manhattan and a BourBonQ
For National Bourbon Heritage Month this September (yes, it's a real event as of last year), we offer two scrumptious ways to celebrate America's native spirit.
The first, a classic bourbon cocktail.
Wild Turkey Bourbon Manhattan (pictured above):
2 parts Wild Turkey 101
1 1/2 parts sweet vermouth
1 dash bitters
Stir well with cracked ice and strain into a Manhattan or chilled martini glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry (or a brandied cherry, as we prefer).
