Apple Manhattan in a vintage coupe glass with apple fan garnish

Jack of Hearts: Apple Manhattan

Picture of Heather Wibbels, Cocktail Contessa, pouring a cocktailHeather Wibbels
Apples are everywhere in the fall and I love the combination of apple and bourbon together. This cocktail uses bourbon and applejack, a type of apple brandy, to create a spirit-forward, apple-tasting cocktail to sip at home by the fire. This play on words refers to applejack and the “hearts” cut of bourbon.
