This is a personal preference matter. I prefer my Manhattans "up". This means in a martini glass. Many people dont like the super strong taste of straight bourbon will take theirs on the rocks.
The main purpose of ice is not only to cool your drink, but to water is down, i.e. scotch and water. If you like bourbon(and a Manhattan should only be made with bourbon) try this:
Put ice in a cocktail shaker about 1/4 to 1/2 full. Add your drink ingredients. More vermouth and a splash of cherry juice for a sweeter drink, less for a more traditional flavor.
Stir briskly and thouroughly(about 15-20x) You are trying to get it cold. Dont stir it like you are disolving sugar in iced tea, but stir it fast. This will cool it and MILDLY dilute your liquor. Use a cocktail strainer to pour it into a nicely chilled glass and add your cherry garnish. Voila! The perfect Manhattan. ENJOY!
PS. Use good quality bourbon. You dont have to go overboard. I prefer Jim Bean(white or black label) or Makers Mark. And anything over 100 proof will be over powering and too hard to drink.
A rocks glass, and only a rocks glass. Unless it is served "up". Then it it served in a martini glass.
a rocks glass
A "Rocks Glass"
It goes in a martini glass if served "up" and a rocks glass if served "on the rocks".
If you are drinking at home, put it in a dixie cup if you so choose.
