Bourbon

For the sweetest new year, serve this sparkly cocktail featuring classic Rosh Hashanah flavors: apple and honey.

Cherry Heering is a ruby-red Danish liqueur made from cherries, spices, and a neutral grain spirit. It adds cherry flavor and a mild sweetness, not a maraschino in sight.

It's a classic drink that never gets old, and this Manhattan recipe has no added frills, thrills, or paper umbrellas. Keep it simple.
