Manhattan
Classic. Classic. Classic. This is a typical 2:1 ratio drink. 2 ounces of Spirit to 1 of Vermouth (sweet). This drink is basically an Old Fashioned using Vermouth instead of the sugar. I like Rye for the pepper notes but a good Bourbon works well too.
Recipe:
2 oz Rye
1 oz Sweet Vermouth
3 dash Angostura bitters
Garnish: Be creative. Orange slice or Luxardo Cherry works great.
Add ingredients and ice to a mixing glass. Stir until cold and diluted. Strain over ice or straight into a coupe. Enjoy!
