The Five O'Clock: Rye Cranhattan
The recipe is a take on a traditional cocktail that Five & 20 head distiller Joe Nelson developed. He wanted to capture some of the fruit and spice of fall/winter, though we also recommend the drink year-round.
The Bittermen’s Orange Citrate bitters also keeps things in the Five & 20 family. While the Erie distillery doesn’t produce the bitters, they have put out their line of liqueurs for the past eight years.
Check out Five & 20 yourself, and try their recipe for this cranberry Manhattan with Rye Whiskey.
