I want a sweet cocktail with whisky.

If you're looking for a sweet cocktail that prominently features whisky, there are a few excellent options to consider, each with its unique flair and taste profile.

One top recommendation would be the Manhattan Sweet. With a nearly perfect rating of 4.9/5, this classic cocktail has stood the test of time since its inception in late 1800s New York City. It features a harmonious blend of red vermouth, angostura bitters, and bourbon. The red vermouth provides a rich, velvety sweetness, balanced by the bitter undertone of Angostura bitters and the robust, smoky flavor of bourbon. It’s a perfect choice if you want an elegant and sophisticated sweet whisky cocktail.

Another delightful option is the Winter Whisky Sour, which offers a seasonal twist on the classic Whisky Sour. With a rating of 4.8/5, this cocktail incorporates orange and lemon juice, balanced with sugar syrup to provide a sweet and tangy experience that highlights the warming notes of bourbon. This cocktail is especially fitting for the colder months or festive occasions, providing a refreshing yet cozy beverage.

Lastly, consider trying the Sugar Daddy. This cocktail has a rating of 4.7/5 and is an inventive take on the classic Godfather. It substitutes root beer schnapps for amaretto, resulting in a smooth and complex drink that retains the familiar root beer flavor while softening the kick of the whiskey. It's creamy, oddly complex, and surprisingly drinkable, a great match if you prefer something a bit different yet still sweet.

All these cocktails are excellent choices that balance the sweetness with the robust character of whisky, ensuring a delightful and satisfying drinking experience!
