Manhattan

Ingredients

• 2 ounces rye whiskey
• 1 ounce sweet vermouth
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 2 cups ice – for stirring; discard
• maraschino cherry – for garnish

Instructions

1. Chill a coupe or Nick & Nora glass in the freezer until cold, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters to a mixing glass.
3. Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir until very cold and well diluted, 20–30 seconds (the outside of the glass should feel frosty).
4. Strain into the chilled glass; the cocktail should look clear and free of ice shards.
5. Garnish with a maraschino cherry and serve immediately.
