Wondering how to make Perfect Classic Manhattan? Cocktail Builder will help!

  • 1 oz of martini & rossi sweet vermouth (alt: dry vermouth)
  • 2 dash of Angostura bitters
  • 1 of stemmed maraschino cherry (alt: cherry ice cream)
  • 3 oz of knob creek bourbon whiskey (alt: jameson irish whiskey)

    • Instructions

    Chill martini-type cocktail glasses. (Three ice cubes and a shot or two of water will get the job done quickly.)

    Put several ice cubes (not crushed) in a pitcher, or a large glass tumber. Add bourbon, vermouth, and bitters per the recipe.
