Ingredients

  • 2 ounces bourbon or you can also use rye instead of bourbon in the same quantity
  • 1-ounce sweet vermouth
  • 2 dash of angostura bitters
  • You can also add orange juice one dash to add a bit of bitterness 
  • for garnish, you can add cherry but not the ordinary ones, use brandied cherries

Instructions to follow

  1. Add the whiskey, sweet vermouth, bourbon, and both bitters in the mixing glass, ice stirring until chilled. ( you can replace the bourbon with rye but make sure the quantity is still the same as bourbon)
  2. Pour the drink into a chilled coupe. You can also add ice cubes. That would be good too.
  3. Garnish with a brandied cherry. Brandied cherries are soaked into a syrup made of brandy to make that perfect garnish for cocktails. It’s better than the fresh cherries and doubles up the flavour of Manhattan. 

The best thing about Manhattan is it has a perfect classic flavor that didn’t vanish in centuries. Bars are still offering Manhattan classic style with brandied cheery on the top. If you are a classic drink lover, you should give it a try. Make it at home and enjoy it with your loved ones.
