  • Solid Manhattan variation. Made with Wild Turkey. Could stand up to more overproof. Would also like to try with Maraska.

Comments

Curator's note: with an overproof barrel-strength bourbon this is quite potent, but tasty. Probably best to stick to a 100 or 101. It might not hurt to shave off a bit more proof with Fee Brothers orange bitters and Old Fashion Aromatic (not whiskey barrel aged bitters).
