Red wine is an under-utilized ingredient in cocktails, but food blogger eden passante of sugar and charm is making up for it with her recipe for the red moon over manhattan, a riff on the classic manhattan. Passante doesnt specify a varietal, but weve tried with everything from pinot noir to shiraz and its fantastic every time. Were not usually sticklers about ice, but a great big sphere of ice peeking out from the deep red sky is pretty much a requirement its too beautiful to do it any other way if youve got ice spheres on hand.
