Ingredients
- 2 oz Hudson Manhattan Rye Whiskey
- 1 oz Sweet vermouth
- 5 drops Angostura Bitters
Garnish: Cherry
Glass: Cocktail
Preparation
Add all the ingredients to a mixing glass and fill with ice. Stir well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry.




This is a regular Manhattan, not a perfect one. A Perfect Manhattan contains both sweet and dry vermouth.
Making a perfect Manhattan with a cherry and no dry vermouth is sacrilege. For a website devoted to drinks this is just wrong.
Frowst and Bubikon – Yes -Thank You – I don’t need any sweet – but it’s ok. I use a twist of lemon also – no cherry
Frowst and Bubikon: You’re both absolutely right. Good catch, and our apologies. We’ve changed the name of this recipe.
