Manhattan Bella

Name: Manhattan Bella
Prep time: 3 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 2.5 oz Knob Creek® Bourbon Whiskey; 0.375 oz Dubonnet® Rouge; 0.375 oz Sweet Vermouth; 2 dashes Angostura® Bitters

A rich, slightly sweeter take on a Manhattan where bourbon's caramel and oak are rounded by Dubonnet Rouge and sweet vermouth, with Angostura adding warm spice and bitter depth. It pours a deep garnet into a chilled cocktail glass and is finished with a brandied cherry for a plush, boozy bite. Worth trying if you like complex, sippable cocktails that balance sweetness and herbal bitterness.
