Manhattan

Manhattan Cocktail on a blue and red napkin

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!
