How To Make A Classic Manhattan
1.
Welcome to the world of mixology! Today, we'll teach you how to make a classic Manhattan, a timeless cocktail that's perfect for any occasion.
2.
First, gather your ingredients: 2 oz rye whiskey, 1 oz sweet vermouth, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, and a maraschino cherry for garnish.
3.
Fill a mixing glass with ice and add the rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. Stir gently for about 30 seconds to combine the flavors.
4.
Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass. If you don't have a cocktail glass, a regular glass will do just fine.
5.
Now for the fun part - garnish your Manhattan with a maraschino cherry. This adds a touch of sweetness and a pop of color to your drink.
6.
For a classic Manhattan, use a Luxardo maraschino cherry. Trust us, it makes all the difference.
7.
If you prefer a sweeter Manhattan, you can add a splash of the cherry juice to your drink. This will give it a more fruity flavor.
8.
For a smokier Manhattan, try using a peated whiskey instead of rye. This will add a unique depth of flavor to your cocktail.

And there you have it, a perfectly crafted classic Manhattan. Sip and savor the flavors of this iconic cocktail.
