In our family, everybody talked about my Dad's famous Manhattans, which today we fondly call Charlie's Manhattans. It was always a traditional drink during the holidays and one with a very special recipe which I have shared below. One word of caution, always stop at two, then stay home or have a designated driver. For the kids, and really for everyone else, Rich's Grasshoppers have always been a real delight. All one needs is a container of vanilla bean ice cream and blender and three to four ounces of creme de menthe. Oh so good!
Ingredients for Charlie's Manhattans:
1 1/2 oz Jim Bean Bourbon
1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth
1 Dash Bitters
Splash of Cherry Juice
Stir well with ice. Strain into cocktail glass Serve with Cherry
