What is a sweet cocktail with few ingredients?
Cocktail Colin says:
Looking for a sweet cocktail with few ingredients? The *Manhattan Sweet* and *Sweet Flower* are two excellent choices that fit the bill perfectly.
The Manhattan Sweet is a classic and elegant option, featuring just three main ingredients: red vermouth, Angostura bitters, and bourbon. This cocktail brings a sophisticated balance of sweetness and bitterness, thanks to the rich, velvety red vermouth and the complex, smoky bourbon. With a high rating of 4.9/5, it's a timeless selection that's sure to impress.
If you prefer something fruitier and with a lower alcohol content, the Sweet Flower is a fantastic choice. It combines peach schnapps, orange juice, lemon juice, and a dash of grenadine. The result is a vibrant and refreshing drink that's both sweet and tart. This cocktail is ideal for those who enjoy visually appealing beverages, as its layered hues make for a striking presentation. With a rating of 4.61/5, the Sweet Flower promises a delightful sipping experience.
Both of these cocktails are simple to make, requiring only a few ingredients each, making them convenient options for any occasion.
