to me the perfect winter cocktail is the "manhattan." imagine sitting in your cozy apartment full from a home-cooked meal relaxing on your couch with a drink in hand-- yes please! here is the recipe i use to make myself happy...
2 oz rittenhouse rye
1 oz carpano antica sweet vermouth
3 dashes angustura bitters
crack a couple ice cubes into a chilled mixing glass; add all your ingredients; top of with ice; stir and strain into a glass and garnish with a brandy cherry... yumm!
i am a huge fan of antica sweet vermouth. i often just drink it on its own with a couple ice cubes. it has a beautiful velvet texture with hints of plum and spices. i'm pretty much obsessed with it and always have a bottle in my fridge... the bottle is pretty too so you can use it as a vase or candle holder. enjoy.
