Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass filled with ice, combine 2 oz of rye whiskey, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, 2 dashes of Angostura bitters, and 1 dash of cherry bitters. Stir well to chill and dilute the mixture.

  2. 2

    Strain the Cocktail

    Strain the mixture into a chilled cocktail glass or coupe glass, ensuring to leave the ice behind.

Garnishing

  1. 3

    Add Garnish

    Garnish the cocktail with a single maraschino cherry dropped into the glass and express the oils from a strip of orange peel over the drink before placing it on the rim.

Barrel Aging (optional)

  1. 4

    Aging the Cocktail

    If you choose to barrel age the Manhattan, pour the prepared cocktail mixture into a clean oak barrel filled with medium char oak chips. Seal the barrel and let it age for 2-4 weeks, depending on how pronounced you want the oak flavor to be.

  2. 5

    Bottling

    After the aging period, bottle the cocktail into a glass bottle, and store it in the refrigerator or serve immediately.
