Since 1894, the Manhattan has been a go-to cocktail throughout New York City. Based on a classy Bourbon, one sip of this cocktail will immediately prove to you why it’s been such a hit until the modern day. Here’s how you can make a Manhattan cocktail that’s sure to be a party-pleaser.
Ingredients:
- 2 ounces bourbon
- Ice
- 1 ounce sweet vermouth
- 2 maraschino cherries
- Aromatic bitters
Instructions:
- Fill a mixing glass or cocktail shaker with ice. Pour the bourbon and vermouth and stir until chilled.
