Heering through the grapevine

This Manhattan riff has a split base - rye to complement the cherry flavor and add a bit of spice, and gin, to bring a little bit of herbaceous and juniper

Under the Mistletoe

Cracking a fresh egg should result in 3/4oz to 1 oz, but if measuring Aquafaba, start with 3/4oz and increase to 1oz if that's more you desired foaminess!
