Batched Fleur de Lis Manhattan
To make a batch of 8 to 10 Fleur de Lis Manhattans use the following recipe. For larger pours or parties, double or triple the recipe. This can be made in any empty 750 mL bottle and placed in the fridge to chill. Make sure you keep this chilled as you serve it if you’re going to serve it neat.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ c 100 proof bourbon
- ¾ c Ballotin Bourbon Ball Whiskey
- ¾ c Chambord liqueur
- 16 drops Scrappy's cardamom bitters
- 16 dashes Bitter Truth chocolate bitters
- ½ to ¾ c water
- Garnish: grated chocolate, fresh raspberries, or bourbon truffle
Instructions
- Combine cocktail ingredients in a large pitcher and combine well. Make sure to taste test the cocktail for bitters before you put it up to chill. Depending on the type of cardamom and chocolate bitters, you might need the lower amount, 12 drops, or could need more than 16!
- Chill for several hours in the fridge. Before serving, chill for at least 30 minutes in the freezer and make sure it’s well-chilled before pouring (do not leave in the freezer overnight, it may freeze up!).
- If you’re having guests pour their own cocktails, place the bottle in an ice bucket to keep cold while the party continues. Serve in a coupe or martini glass and garnish with a bourbon ball, fresh raspberry or just grated chocolate sprinkled on top if you want to keep things easy.
