Classic Manhattan
To get started, I'm going to show you how to make a classic Manhattan. Before you begin, you'll need:
- 2 oz rye whiskey
- 1/2 oz sweet vermouth
- 2 - 3 dashes of bitters (a dash of bitters)
- a maraschino cherry for garnish.
To begin, add 2 oz of whiskey to an ice-filled mixing glass. Pour in 1/2 ounce of sweet vermouth. Add 2 - 3 dashes of bitters. Shake well.
