Recipe
Ingredients (serves 1):
3 ounces rye or bourbon whiskey
3/4 ounce sweet vermouth
1-2 dashes bitters
Maraschino cherries
Ice
Directions:
- Fill metal half of a Boston-style cocktail shaker
with ice.
- Add whiskey and vermouth.
- Shake in a dash or two of bitters.
- Slowly pour contents back and forth between the two shaker halves 3-4 times until well-chilled.
- Strain into chilled martini glass.
- Garnish with a Maraschino cherry.
Bartender’s hints: While the classic Manhattan is served “straight up” in a martini glass, some people prefer to drink their Manhattan on the rocks in a lowball tumbler, so it’s a good idea to ask your guest if they have a preference. And there are those who enjoy a little splash of Maraschino cherry juice in theirs for a slightly sweeter libation.
