Ingredients
SERVINGS: 1 Cocktail
Pecan Pie Manhattan
- 4 ounces Pecan Infused Bourbon
- 1 ounce Amaro Montenegro
- 3 dashes Vanilla Bitters
- 2-3 Bourbon-Soaked Cherry garnish
Pecan Infused Bourbon
- 1 pound Pecans
- 1 tablespoon Cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 750 ml Bourbon - we use Bulleit
Bourbon-Soaked Cherries
- 1 pound Cherries, pitted
- 1 cup Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 2 orange rinds
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 1 cup Bourbon - we used Bulleit
Instructions
Pecan Pie Manhattan
Put all ingredients in shaker over ice and stir. Strain into Martini glass and garnish with Bourbon-soaked Cherries.
Pecan Infused Bourbon
Toss Pecans with Cinnamon and Nutmeg to coat. Place on baking sheet. Place in 325° oven for 7 minutes. While still warm, put into Infusion Jar and pour your choice of Bourbon over. Refrigerate and let sit for 24 hours before tasting. After two weeks all the flavors from the ingredients have been pulled out and infused the liquor completely, so remove ingredients. The liquor will last a few months stores in air tight containers.
Bourbon-Soaked Cherries
Place ingredients in saucepan and bring to low boil. Turn heat down and let simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat & let cool completely. Add pitted Cherries to Syrup and top with 1 cup Bourbon. Let sit at least 2 weeks for fully-infused flavor - the longer they sit the better they taste!
