How to Make It

Manhattan

USD53.98

A Manhattan is a classic cocktail made from a blend of whiskey, sweet vermouth and a dash of Angostura bitters. Traditionally, rye whiskey is used to make the cocktail, but other whiskeys, such as bourbon or Canadian whiskey, can be used. The drink is garnished with a maraschino cherry or a lemon twist. The Manhattan is believed to have originated in the late 1800s at the Manhattan Club in New York City. The Manhattan is a popular choice for many occasions and is often served in a martini glass. It is also popular in upscale bars and restaurants. The drink...

Here’s your lineup for a killer Manhattan cocktail recipe—simple and strong:

60 ml Bulleit Rye (my jam—rich and bold!)
30 ml Foro Rosso Vermouth di Torino (smooth and deep—total win)
2 dashes Angostura Bitters (the magic touch—don’t skip!)
Ice (large cubes, keep it cool)
Maraschino cherry (for that classic pop—grab a good one)

Pro Tip: Drop the cherry in last and give it a quick swirl—let that sweet juice mingle just right.

Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes.
Add Bulleit Rye, Foro Rosso Vermouth di Torino, and Angostura Bitters to a mixing glass filled with ice.
Stir gently for 30 seconds to properly chill and dilute the drink.
Strain the cocktail into the chilled coupe glass.
Drop in a Luxardo cherry (or classic maraschino cherry).

Tasting Notes

Expect deep caramel and toasted oak on the nose, a balanced spice from rye, and a touch of cherry and herb from the vermouth. It finishes with a warm, peppery linger elegant and enduring.
