After a late, or early for me, arrival home from the office, I fried up a pair of cheeseburgers. I’m not quite ready to drink the Budweiser I have in the house, so what cocktail might go with a cheeseburger?
A Hamburger Today asks the same question, but didn’t answer it so much as review some hamburgers at two cocktail bars, and I’ll certainly not try this Whiskeyburger documented by Esquire. Of course, Jimmy Buffett might recommend a margarita, in the absence of Landshark Lager, with one’s cheeseburger in paradise.
Perhaps a Manhattan?
Manhattan
Stir in mixing glass with ice
- 1 3/4 oz rye or bourbon
- 3/4 oz sweet vermouth
- 1 dash aromatic bitters
Strain into a a cocktail glass and garnish with a cherry.
That worked out OK, but I prefer a beer with my burger. The Manhattan is also a bit too sweet for me to drink with any regularity.
