Best Manhattan Cocktail

INGREDIENTS

• Ice, for stirring
• 2 ounces rye or bourbon (I like Bulleit Rye)
• 1 ounce sweet vermouth (I like Dolin or Carpano Antica)
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 1 Luxardo cherry or other cocktail cherry, for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fill a mixing glass a few inches high with ice. Add the whiskey, vermouth and bitters. Stir in a circular motion for about 30 seconds, or until the drink is very cold (if you’d like a drink with less bite, stir longer).
2. Strain the liquid into a coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a cocktail cherry. Enjoy.
