Perfect Manhattan

A Perfect Manhattan is a silky, spirit-forward stirred cocktail where blended whiskey is softened and complicated by equal parts sweet and dry vermouth and a dash of aromatic bitters. It presents as a clear deep amber in a chilled cocktail glass with a maraschino cherry, slightly dry, subtly herbal and bittersweet, excellent for sipping as a refined digestif or nightcap.
