MANHATTAN
serves one
INGREDIENTS
2 ounces whiskey
1 ounce sweet vermouth
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Luxardo cherries for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Place all ingredients into a cocktail shaker. Add ice and stir—do not shake. Shaking this cocktail adds too much water to the mix and greatly diminishes the flavor.
Strain into a coupe or cocktail glass and garnish with a cherry.
