Southern Comfort Manhattan

Southern Comfort Manhattan

This Southern Comfort recipe makes a cocktail that is extremely tasty. Once you try this Manhattan, you may need to go back to a cheaper whiskey. I make them shaken "up" on a cool day before dinner or with ice on a hot day. High-quality ingredients are the key to making this drink unforgettable. It’s well worth it if you’re over 45 and a Manhattan lover.
