Grandma's Cherry Pie Manhattan

Unfortunately making cocktails for a backyard bbq is never easy when the group gets bigger than a handful of people, and storebought versions rarely stand up to a nice homemade drink. So the chefs at MEAT! updated an age-old bulk cocktail recipe from grandma with some modern kitchen equipment to speed things up!

Grandma’s Cherry Pie Manhattan used to be made over a few days in a big glass jug in the fridge, now we can use a MEAT! Sous Vide and finish the whole process in less than 2-hours! When served over ice this cocktail has all the body of your favorite whiskey, with the added flavor of a sweet cherry pie.

We recommend using a relatively nice bourbon or whiskey for this, the better your spirit the better the drink will be! We also think you should save the cherries at the end of the recipe to use as garnish for when you serve the drinks. Just grab a toothpick and spear a few cherries on the end for people to use as a stirring stick and snack when they’re finished.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 1-2 Hours

Estimated Servings: 1 Pint

INGREDIENTS:

  • 16 oz. Whiskey (1 Pint)
  • 2 C. Cherries, de-stemmed and pitted
  • ¼ C. Simple Syrup
  • ½ Peel of Orange
  • 4 oz. Sweet Vermouth
  • 8-12 Dashes Angostura or Black Walnut Bitters
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick, Optional
  • 2-4 Whole Dried Cloves, Optional

EQUIPMENT

  1. MEAT! Vacuum Sealer Bags
  2. MEAT! Chamber Vacuum Sealer
  3. MEAT! Sous Vide Cooker
  4. Mesh Strainer
  5. Glass Jar or Bottle

Directions:

  1. Place the MEAT! Sous Vide cooker in a tall pot and fill the pot with warm water above the minimum fill line. Set the sous vide temperature to 145°F.
  2. Pit your cherries and remove the stems.
    • Pro Tip: Slightly macerate the cherries to make the juices release easier.
  3. Add your fruit to an appropriately sized mason jar or vacuum sealable bag and then pour your whiskey into the bag as well.
  4. Add your vermouth, simple syrup, bitters, orange peel and any of the optional ingredients you’d like to add.
    • Be careful when adding cinnamon and clove, it can easily overpower the flavor if too much is used.
  5. Seal your container and gently shake to mix thoroughly.
  6. Place the container into the sous vide bath for up to 2 hours. Cook it longer if you want more intense flavor.
  7. Remove the container from the bath and allow it to rest until cool enough to handle.
  8. Strain the Manhattan into a fresh bottle or mason jar ensuring as little sediment makes it into the bottle as possible.
  9. Keep your batch made cocktail refrigerated and feel free to enjoy it neat, on the rocks or add some soda water to make it a spritzer! It should last for at least 2 weeks if kept in a sealed container in the fridge.

This will remove the first product added for comparison. Is that OK?
