Perfect Classic Manhattan

A warm, spirit-forward Manhattan where robust bourbon meets the rounded sweetness of rosso vermouth and aromatic Angostura bitters. It pours a deep mahogany and is served chilled and strained up with a stemmed maraschino cherry, smooth, slightly sweet, and richly boozy with a hint of spice.

Ingredients

  • 3 oz Knob Creek® Bourbon Whiskey
  • 1 oz Martini & Rossi® Rosso Vermouth
  • 2 dashes Angostura® Bitters

Instructions

  1. Chill a cocktail glass using ice cubes and a bit of water, then discard the ice and water once the glass is chilled.
  2. Place several whole ice cubes in a pitcher or a large tumbler.
  3. Pour the Knob Creek® Bourbon Whiskey, Martini & Rossi® Sweet Vermouth, and Angostura® Bitters into the pitcher.
  4. Gently swirl or stir the mixture for at least 20 seconds to ensure all ingredients are thoroughly combined and chilled. Avoid shaking the mixture.
  5. Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared, chilled cocktail glass.
  6. Garnish the drink with a stemmed maraschino cherry before serving.
