Halloween Manhattan?

Not really; its an Aperol Manhattan with a halloween appropriate garnish (a gummy eyeball). It is a great cocktail and good to serve any time of the year..

I am really enjoying experimenting with Aperol; it is a nice mix of sweet and bitter orange (like Campari but not as bitter). I am playing around with it and am certain I will have a few more great cocktail recipes to share

1 ¾ oz Bourbon
1 ¼ oz Sweet Vermouth
1 ¼ oz Aperol
juice from ½ fresh lime & ½ fresh orange.
4 dashes Peychaud’s Bitters
