Manhattan YYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

The classiest of drinks, nothing is prettier or tastier than a classic Manhattan straight up. This article provides you with two recipes because it can be made with bourbon whiskey or rye whiskey, depending on what you have available, what you prefer, or perhaps you'd like to try both!

Ingredients

Rye whiskey version: This recipe serves one – double it to include your friend!

• 50ml / 1 2⁄3 fl oz rye whiskey (ex. Catoctin Creek Organic Roundstone Rye)
• 25ml 7⁄8 fl oz sweet vermouth
• 1 to 2 drops of Angostura bitters
• 1 lemon
• Some maraschino cherries
• Some ice

Bourbon whiskey version: This recipe is for two, since no one should drink alone!

• Grenadine or maraschino cherry juice
• Maraschino cherries
• Angostura bitters
• Some ice

  2.Pour the rye whiskey in to the mixing glass. Add the sweet vermouth

  3.Add 1 or 2 drops of bitters to the mixing glass. (You can also add some orange peel in to the mix for a little extra zest.)

  4.Fill the mixing glass with ice.

  5.Stir the contents thoroughly, until condensation appears on the side of the mixing glass.
  6..Pour. Dump the ice out of the martini glass, put a cocktail strainer over the mixing glass, and pour.
