Bourbon, Whiskey and Rye
What do a Hot Toddy, an Old Fashioned, and a Manhattan have in common, besides being three of the most classic holiday cocktails on the menu? They’re all made with a type of whiskey. My go-to for an elegant Manhattan is Templeton Rye, which is satisfyingly smooth and easy to find. Grab some Luxardo cherries if you want to provide the full experience. Proper Twelve Irish Whiskey comes in a rad bottle that will look cool on the bar, won’t break the bank and donates a portion of sales to first responders. Woodford Reserve is a recognizable bourbon brand that won’t steer you wrong.
