The Manhattan Cocktail is, after the Classic Martini, arguably the most popular cocktail there is.This is a very simple affair, containing only three, easy to obtain ingredients.
And the nice thing, is that - like the martini - its variations are also good.
The Manhattan Cocktail
2 oz Blended whiskey (Please don't use bourbon. Canadian Club works best!)
1 oz Sweet vermouth
Dash Angostura bitters
Maraschino cherry
Into a cocktail shaker or stirring glass, place the ingredients and ice. Stir or shake until cold, and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry.
A Perfect Manhattan uses 1/2 oz sweet vermouth and 1/2 oz dry vermouth and is garnished with a lemon twist.
A Rob Roy is a Manhattan made with Scotch, instead of Canadian Club
