Drink Of The Month: Manhattan

An undisputed classic. Up until recently I have always been more of a gin or vodka man but, especially now that the months have become cooler, I have been really embracing bourbon and rye.
In the past month or so, I have had several different variations of this with bourbon vs rye but I think I found my (simple) favorite.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz Rye Bulleit (though I have been using Old Overholt as well so I don't tear through my Bulleit)
  • 1 oz Sweet vermouth
  • 2 dashes Angostura bitters


STIR in glass and pour over large ice cube in rocks glass. Garnish with cherry.



My favorite restaurant in Harrisburg, Bricco has a house version. Angels Envy bourbon with Luxardo maraschino poured over a huge spherical cube. Nice touch.
