Ingredients

Ingredients for A Classic Manhattan Cocktail

  • 2 ounces Bourbon Whiskey
  • 1 ounce Sweet Vermouth
  • 3 dashes or so Angostura bitters
  • 2 to 3 Luxardo Maraschino cocktail cherries or Maraschino cherries
  • ½ tablespoon syrup from the cherries (optional, but worth experimenting)

Instructions

  • Fill a cocktail shaker with ice
  • Add bourbon whiskey, sweet vermouth, Angostura bitters (and cherry syrup if using)
  • Stir for 90 seconds - note here that the perfect Manhattan is always stirred, never shaken
  • Strain into a martini glass, or in my case, a sexy 1920's Marie Coupe
  • Garnish with Luxardo Maraschino cherries skewered on cocktail picks for swizzling
