Absolutely delicious…and addicting! I’ve already made it 3 times in the past week. This is reminiscent of a Manhattan, but with a nice added lemony tang and a more mellow taste. A perfect blend of sweet and sour. For those who might find a Manhattan a little too intense but love the flavors, you’ll definitely love this! I served mine with a twist of orange peel and Luxardo cherries.
