Manhattan

Ingredients

Original

• 2 1/2 ounces bourbon whiskey
• 1 ounce sweet vermouth
• 2 to 3 dashes aromatric bitters (Angostura)
• Maraschino cherry, for garnish
• Orange peel, for garnish

Build Method

1. Fill a martini glass to the brim with ice so it chills while you make the Manhattan.
2. Add bourbon, sweet vermouth, and bitters to a shaker or glass with a few ice cubes, and then stir or gently shake. Do not overdo it; you do not want the ice to water down the drink.
3. Discard ice from the martini glass, strain the Manhattan into the chilled glass, and garnish with cherry and orange peel.
