Before starting on the lighther drinks of spring, let's try a drink that has red wine as its main protagonist with bourbon in a minor role. The result is a relaxed, low-alcohol libation that works well any time of day. Surprisingly, the red wine highlights the pleasing, aromatic make-up of bourbon.
As the name indicates, this is a take on the classic Manhattan cocktail which blends bourbon (or rye) whiskey with sweet vermouth and angostura bitters.
6 cl red wine
1.5 cl bourbon whiskey
1.5 cl simple syrup
Shake the ingredients with ice and strain into a glass of your choice. If you find the drink too sweet, go easy on the simple syrup.
