    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes to chill the mixture thoroughly.

    Stir

    Stir the mixture for about 30 seconds until well chilled and properly diluted.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Remove the ice water from the cocktail glass and strain the chilled mixture into the glass using a fine mesh strainer.

    Garnish your Manhattan with a single Amarena Cherry placed in the center of the drink.
