Manhattan

Like the old fashioned, a Manhattan is another simple whiskey or bourbon-based drink with bitters. What makes it unique, though, is it's use of sweet or red vermouth and cherry garnish instead of the old fashioned's orange garnish.

• 2 Oz Bourbon or Rye Whiskey
• 1 Oz Sweet (Red) Vermouth
• 2 Dashes of Angostura Bitters
• 1 Luxardo Cherry for Garnishing (Maraschino cherries can work too, but they have more artificial flavoring)

This one is very easy to make. Simply add your bourbon, vermouth, and bitters to a mixing glass with ice to about the top of the liquid. Then, stir the ingredients for about 20-30 seconds and strain into a cocktail or rocks glass. Finally, garnish with a Luxardo cherry and voila!
