Now that school has started and it feels like fall is just around the corner, it’s time to kick back and enjoy some flavorful fall-themed cocktails. One of my favorite new drinks is the Maple Manhattan from Fletcher’s on Main Street which also just so happens to be in the most recent issue of Dishing magazine! I have always loved Manhattans, but there was something deliciously refreshing and fall-like about this drink. Plus, I grew up in New England where real maple syrup is a staple in everyone’s kitchen. Don’t forget to use local High West bourbon to make this cocktail extra special. Cheers!
