What are the ingredients in a manhattan cocktail?
Answers:
Scale ingredients to servings
3/4 oz sweet vermouth
2 1/2 oz bourbon whiskey
1 dash Angostura? bitters
1 maraschino cherry
1 twist orange peel
Combine the vermouth, bourbon whiskey, and bitters with 2 - 3 ice cubes in a mixing glass. Stir gently, don't bruise the spirits and cloud the drink. Place the cherry in a chilled cocktail glass and strain the whiskey mixture over the cherry. Rub the cut edge of the orange peel over the rim of the glass and twist it over the drink to release the oils but don't drop it in.
VARIATION: No bitters. Substitute a twist of lime for the cherry and orange. Hold the lime twist in a lighted match over the drink and then drop it in. The heat really zips up the lime flavor.
Try different ratios of whiskey to vermouth. Try 3:1.
Different whiskeys: rye - Wild Turkey rye or Rittenhouse 100 are good; high-rye bourbons like Wild Turkey 101 also work quite well.
Different bitters, or combinations of bitters: Fee's Aromatic, Peychaud's, Fee's Orange, and Regan's Orange are all good choices. Use about half as much Fee's Aromatic versus other bitters.
Different vermouths: Vya sweet vermouth is expensive but outstanding.
A few dashes of cherry syrup, in addition to the cherry, also adds a nice touch.
