Session Manhattan | Cocktail Party

Session Manhattan

“Session” in a cocktail name typically means that a drink is low proof (or at least lower-proof), and perfect for a long “session” of day-drinking. The Session Manhattan is a perfect example, inverting the classic template and adding some dry amontillado sherry and dry vermouth for a light, drinkable tipple that won’t send you to bed after one glass.

If drinks like this are just your speed, be sure to check out the Session Cocktails book we found it in, from Drew Lazor and the editors of PUNCH magazine.

Game Changer

This is a game changer. When you're at the liquor store, thinking, "Yeah, ok fine what does Ancho Reyes liquor get me?" you open the app, look up Chile liquor and see that it gets you like 11 new cocktails. This is addictive, and indeed worth the price. We're having a blast under quarantine. While some of the ingredients are kind of anonymous, the icons look like the Campari bottle, and the descriptions often tell you if Campari will work or if you need Aperol. If you <3 cocktails, get this.
