Perfect Classic Manhattan recipe
This recipe is for a single classic, premium Manhattan. It makes a rather large, potent double that has sipping-good flavor.
This recipe came out of many trials and errors with various premium bourbons, and proportions. Knob Creek is perfect for a Manhattan. Its slightly sweet flavors stand out in this drink. Any premium sweet vermouth may be substituted. It isn't a Manhattan without bitters.
1 oz Martini & Rossi® sweet vermouth
2 dashes Angostura® bitters
1 stemmed maraschino cherry
Put several ice cubes (not crushed) in a pitcher, or a large glass tumber. Add bourbon, vermouth, and bitters per the recipe.
Gently swirl or stir for at least 20 seconds. Do not hurry this, and absolutely do *not* shake it.
Strain into chilled cocktail glass. Add stemmed maraschino cherry.
