Manhattan
Not the city of the same name but the cocktail.
How to make a Manhattan:
2 ounces rye whiskey
1/2 ounce sweet vermouth
2-3 dashes Angostura bitters
Maraschino cherry for garnish
Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice cubes (or into a cocktail shaker).
Stir well.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with the cherry.
Variations on the classic version of the ‘manny’…
Dry Manhattan- Use a dash of dry vermouth and garnish with a lemon twist.
Perfect Manhattan- Equal parts of sweet and dry vermouth. Garnish with a lemon twist.
Brandy Manhattan- Replace whiskey with brandy.
Scotch Manhattan- Replace whiskey with Scotch.
Southern Comfort Manhattan- Replace whiskey with Southern Comfort.
You can see more variations here.
So however you like your Manhattan, do enjoy.
must try one of these, but checked my little space where I keep my bottles of ‘joy juice’and NO Vermouth or Whiskey, not even Southern Comfort which I usually have here. Must make a wee shopping run.
They’re actually quite good. Pack a punch considering they are 100% booze. 🙂
