Description
Though no one agrees on where the Manhattan cocktail was created, it’s an undeniable classic that’s smooth, strong, and a little sweet, too. A Manhattan made with rye whiskey is a rush of flavors: sweet vermouth, cacao and caramel, cherry, and spice with a strong finish that takes you back to whiskey. Bourbon makes a sweeter drink with more fruit and caramel notes. A few tweaks to the classic drink set this one apart — an extra dash of bitters, the option of Hella brand bitters for a touch more sharpness, and an upgrade to an intensely flavorful Luxardo cherry from the usual maraschino. The recipe is a Yummly original created by Maria C. Hunt.
Ingredients
- 2 oz. rye whiskey (straight rye, or bourbon whiskey)
- 1 oz. Italian vermouth
- 3 dashes bitters (such as Hella Aromatic bitters or Angostura)
- ice cubes
- 1 Luxardo maraschino cherry (or 2 cherries if you like)
Directions
- Add whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters to a cocktail mixing glass filled with ice. (Or use a 2-cup glass measuring cup.) Stir for a few minutes with a long bar spoon or other spoon until the mixture is thoroughly chilled and condensation starts to form.
- Strain the Manhattan into a coupe, footed cocktail glass, or other glass. Pat the cherry dry, spear it on a cocktail pick, and garnish the drink.
