MANHATTAN

YOU WILL REQUIRE 

Bourbon whiskey, 2 1/2 ounces 

Sweet vermouth, 1 ounce 

2-3 dashes of fragrant bitters (we use Angostura) 

Cherry maraschino, for decoration 

Peeled oranges as a garnish

DIRECTIONS 

While preparing the Manhattan, completely fill a martini glass with ice to keep it chilled. 

With a few ice cubes, combine whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters in a shaker or glass. Stir or lightly shake. Don't go overboard; you don't want the ice to dilute the beverage. Remove ice from martini glass, strain Manhattan into chilled glass, top with cherry, and garnish with orange peel.
