Bob Schnoes' Classic Manhattan

By Christy Rost

Café Mocha Frappe takes the classic New England chocolate milkshake to another level, thanks to the addition of vanilla syrup and coffee. When you want a sophisticated cocktail with subtle delicate flavor, enjoy a Lavender Cosmopolitan, rimmed with sparkling sugar. For more robust flavor, choose my dad's Bob Schnoes' Classic Manhattan. It's one of my favorites!

Ingredients:

1		cup ice cubes
2		ounces good-quality bourbon
1		ounce Martini & Rossi Rosso® Vermouth
1		teaspoon maraschino cherry juice
2		maraschino cherries

Fill a cocktail shaker half full with ice and add bourbon, vermouth, and cherry juice. Cover and shake gently to mix; strain into a martini glass. Garnish with 2 cherries threaded onto a cocktail pick.
