    S'more Manhattan, please...

    Stir a little comfort food into your comfort beverage with an easy Manhattan variation, and get ready to remi’sip on the bonfires of your youth.

This best-of-all-worlds option adds flavors of honeyed grain and gentle smoke, or rather graham cracker and a well-charred marshmallow. Carpano’s Antica Formula Sweet Vermouth, and its big dollop of vanilla, forms the gooey marshmallow core, with 3-4 dashes of your favorite chocolate bitters completing the formula.

    El Toro de Toronja - Mezcal Cocktail Recipe

    Hi all!  Denni here!  When I am not flexing my biceps at the warehouse (I run the shipping for Bitters and Bottles), I like to flex my creative muscles behind the bar.

    I usually start thinking about the night's drink just as I'm packing my lunch in the morning.  What leftovers are in the fridge, and what do I have on hand that can be incorporated into this evening's cocktail?
