Earlier we posted about Manhattan, the drink. 

 

There are numerous variations of the Manhattan. 

Here is one I was unaware of and fell in love with. 

 

2oz Rye (Pikesville) 

1oz Sweet Vermouth (Carpano Antica) 

1 oz Grand Marnier Liqueur 

Orange or cherry bitters (3-4 shakes) 

Luxardo Maraschino Cherries (jar) 

 

Steps: 

  1. Put your glass(es) in the freezer or put ice in them to cool them down. 
  2. Combine the rye, vermouth, Grand Marnier and bitters. 
  3. Dip your mixing spoon in the Luxardo Maraschino Cherry jar and coat it with the syrup. 
  4. Take your dipped coated spoon and mix up all the ingredients. 
  5. Get your drinking glass(es) ready. 
  6. Take one or two Luxardo cherries out and put them in the glass 
  7. Chill your Manhattan by adding ice or adding it to an ice filled container and stir vigorously for 30-45 seconds. 
  8. Pour your Grand Manhattan into your glass leaving the ice behind. 
  9. Enjoy. 

 

Wishes for a great day to all, 

Hugs too,

Return to Your Babyhood Remember the good old days when you were a baby? When you never gave up, regardless of how many times you failed. What happened to those good old days? When you were learning how to walk, you fell down each and every time. On average 17 times per hour. Hundreds if not thousands of times. And what did you do? You got back up. Each and every time. No questions asked. Never taking failure as your final answer. And then, you succeeded. You never doubted yourself. You never overthought things. You never got in your way. If you are now doing these things, preventing yourself from succeeding, getting in your own way, doubting yourself, overthinking things, stop. You can do it. You have done it before. When you had far less capabilities and knowledge and support. Wishes for another great day, each one a gift, David/

Failure or Revelation? You never fail at anything, and that is the truth. What you are doing is revealing to yourself an area of improvement. It is important to realize this, because if you are not failing at something, you are not challenging yourself adequately. And if you are not challenging yourself, how do you make yourself a better person tomorrow than you are today? So please, fail at something often. Be a better person each and every day, because, Each day is a gift, David/
