Maple Manhattan
I love simple cocktails, which is why I love a Manhattan. All you need for a classic Manhattan is whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. When you have a simple cocktail like a Manhattan, it makes for easy additions. In this case, a little bit of fall is introduced with some maple syrup. Perfect.

We decided to go for a classic with some good old school Four Roses Single Barrel Bourbon. In addition to it being one of my favorites, I also wanted to be able to show off my old swizzle stick with the Four Roses on it. Pretty cool! My grandmother had a pretty extensive bar, and all of these cocktails stirrers came from her collection.
This was the perfect fall cocktail, so easy and the maple syrup gives a sweet fall twist. We will definitely be having this all fall long! Do you have a favorite fall cocktail?

My father-in-love had a Manhattan every day. I wonder if he would have liked the addition of maple! He would have tried it, I’m sure. My Granny added bourbon to a lot of holiday recipes.
Pam, that sounds so good. I haven’t had a manhatten in many years but the added maple syrup to this one makes me want to give it another go. A cool evening, by the fire, with a great book and a Manhatten sounds like the perfect spot for a girl from Salem to settle in for a quiet night. Thanks for sharing. Happy October,
It would be perfect by the fire!
Manhattan is my drink when the weather turns chilly. Still waiting. But to add to that maple syrup? Yes. now.
Definitely!!
I love a good Manhattan, and this is such a delicious way to make it even better, Pam! Pinning and tweeting. Thank you so much for your support of the Hearth and Soul Link party.
I enjoy a Manhattan but confess o never having one with maple syrup. It’s looks delicious and comforting.
It is so good1
You wicked woman. I’m going out for cocktails next week with the girls and shall insist the barman make me one of these.
Fun!!
