Manhattan

Ingredients

• 1.5 oz of Carpano Antica sweet vermouth (Dolin sweet vermouth is also very good)
• 3 oz of Bulleit bourbon (Maker’s Mark is good)
• 3-5 drops of bitters (orange bitters are standard, but feel free to get creative here. Bittermens, Bitter End, and Seven Stills are quite good. Angostura is the traditional ingredient here)

• 1-2 Luxardo cherries

Directions

1. Add vermouth, bourbon, bitters, and cherry juice to a cocktail shaker.
2. Add ice. Stir for 1 min to chill.
