Manhattan Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce sweet vermouth
  • 3 ounces bourbon whiskey
  • 1 dash bitters
  • 1 maraschino cherry
  • orange peel

Instructions

  • Gently mix sweet vermouth, bourbon, and bitters in a chilled glass.
  • Add cherry.

Notes

Manhattans are traditionally served in a martini glass, though often people ask to have them served in low ball glasses on ice. Either way is just fine!
