Cherry Manhattan

Ingredients:

• 1–2 tablespoons Blossom Dark Cherry Mixer
• 2 oz. rye or bourbon
• ½ oz. sweet vermouth
• Cherry or lemon peel for garnish
• Ice

Directions:

In mixing glass or cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine whiskey, vermouth, and drinking vinegar concentrate. Stir well, about 20 seconds, then strain into a cocktail glass.

Optional: Add fresh or maraschino cherry or twist lemon peel directly over drink to release essential oils, and serve.
