Red wine is an under-utilized ingredient in cocktails, but food blogger Eden Passante of Sugar and Charm is making up for it with her recipe for the Red Moon Over Manhattan, a riff on the classic Manhattan.
Passante doesn’t specify a varietal, but we’ve tried with everything from Pinot Noir to Shiraz and it’s fantastic every time.
We’re not usually sticklers about ice, but a great big sphere of ice peeking out from the deep red “sky” is pretty much a requirement – it’s too beautiful to do it any other way if you’ve got ice spheres on hand.
