Drink of the Week: Indian Summer

The Indian Summer is another delightful cocktail from the Food and Wine Cocktails 2007 book. (Guess I should buy the 2008 version, huh?)

It's a play on a Manhattan that was developed by one of the owners of Freemans in New York City. I figure on a night when the forecast is calling for -3 Fahrenheit, we all deserve an Indian Summer!

Indian Summer
In an iced mixing glass, combine:

• 1 1/2 ounces bourbon
• 1 1/2 ounces Bianco vermouth

Stir until well chilled. Serve in a cocktail glass, garnished with a lemon twist.
