Why is it that the shortest weeks somehow always seem the longest? Even with Monday off this week it felt like the weekend was just never going to get here!
Do you plan on starting the weekend off with a cocktail? I'm more of a beer and wine girl myself, but I took a sip of a Manhattan a few weeks ago for the first time and I was surprised by how much I liked it!

It also could not be simpler to make...all you need is whiskey, sweet vermouth, ice, cherries, and a cocktail shaker and you are all set to start shaking. You can experiment with the type of whiskey you use, but Ina Garten suggests using Bourbon which sounds good to me!
And if your bar at home is bare and you are need of the proper accessories to make this tasty cocktail, I suggest picking up the Core Martini Set from CB2. For $24.95 you get two martini glasses, a cocktail shaker, and a jigger. At less than $25 this would be a great hostess gift, and you don't have to feel bad about picking one up for yourself too!
Do you have any special cocktails planned for the weekend?
