The Delta Lady


This is my variation of a Southern Manhattan. I've named it after a Paddle steamer that gave sightseeing tours in my hometown and that my grandfather worked on. Since I'm such a purist when it comes to Manhattans, there's nothing "molecular" about this recipe.

Recipe:
4 parts Southern Comfort
1/2 part Maraschino cherry juice
1/4 part Dry Vermouth
Dash of angostura bitters

Add ingredients with ice to a shaker. Stir* and strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with maraschino cherry.

*A Manhattan is like a baby; shake it and you are a horrible person.
