Manhattan Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Chill the Glass

   Begin by chilling a coupe or martini glass. You can do this by filling it with ice water and setting it aside while you prepare the cocktail.

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients

   In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Catoctin Creek Rye, 1 oz of Vermut Rojo, 0.5 oz of Amaro, and 2 dashes of bitters.

3. 3

   Add Ice

   Fill the mixing glass with ice to the top. This will help chill the ingredients as you stir.

4. 4

   Stir the Cocktail

   Using a bar spoon, gently stir the mixture for about 30 seconds. You want to chill the cocktail without diluting it too much.

5. 5

   Strain into Glass

   Remove the ice water from your chilled glass. Using a strainer, pour the stirred cocktail into the glass.

6. 6

   Garnish the Cocktail

   Garnish your Manhattan with a maraschino cherry and a twist of orange peel. For the orange peel, express the oils over the drink before placing it in the glass.

7. 7

   Serve

   Your Manhattan is now ready to be served! Enjoy responsibly.
