How to make the Manhattan drink

Manhattan: The Quintessential Whiskey Cocktail The Manhattan is one of the most refined and enduring cocktails in American mixology. Known for its smooth yet complex flavor, this classic drink dates back to the 1860s or 1870s. Legend has it that the cocktail was first created at the Manhattan Club in New York City, commissioned for a banquet hosted by Lady Randolph Churchill, the mother of Winston Churchill. Whether or not the story is true, the Manhattan quickly gained fame and became a staple in bars across the country. The Manhattan is a perfect balance of whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters, delivering a rich, slightly sweet, and herbal taste with a warming finish. It is typically served in a coupe or martini glass and garnished with a cherry. While rye whiskey was traditionally used, bourbon or Canadian whisky are also popular choices today. Ingredients: 2 oz Rye Whiskey (or Bourbon) 1 oz Sweet Vermouth 2 dashes Angostura Bitters Ice Luxardo Cherry (for Garnish) Optional: Orange Peel (for Additional Aroma)
