How to make the Manhattan Cocktail
Add all the ingredients to a mixing glass and fill with ice. Stir until exceedingly well-chilled. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and garnish with a lemon twist.
A cherry, please.
I like a perfect manhattan which calls for sweet and dry vermouth and if I get a twist with this I know the bartender knows what they are doing. I always as for a blended whiskey – I used to be able to get rye but that is rare now but never bourbon!!
I have been trying to find Carpano Antica Formula for three years. Nobody has it. Where are you guys getting it. I have also been drinking Manhattan”s for over forty years and the garnish is a cherry. A twist is for Rob Roy’s.
Hmmm I always used cherries in Rob Roy’s and Manhattan’s. Oh well! I do like cherries.
