It’s officially December, and I’m in full-blown holiday mode. Our house is already decorated, so I’m ready to relax, watch some Christmas movies and make some yummy cocktails.
I have several Christmas Cocktails up my sleeve, and one of the first ones I want to share is this Cranberry Manhattan, or as I like to call it, “The Cranhattan.” This cocktail is very similar to the original Manhattan recipe, but it’s a little more festive. The cranberry bitters add a nice touch and make this drink perfect for the holiday season. I hope y’all give this one a try. Cheers!
