A Manhattan is a spirit-forward whiskey cocktail with warm caramel and vanilla notes from bourbon balanced by the herbal, raisiny sweetness of sweet vermouth and a dash of aromatic bitters. It pours a deep amber-red and is served up, garnished with a maraschino cherry and an orange twist that add fruity and citrus aromatics. Worth trying if you want a silky, complex sipper that showcases whiskey with elegant sweetness and bitter balance.
