Black Manhattan Recipe

Preparation

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

   Mix the Cocktail

   In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of rye whiskey, 1 oz of sweet vermouth, and 0.5 oz of aromatized red wine.

3. 3

   Add Bitters

   Add 2 dashes of Angostura bitters and 1 dash of orange bitters to the mixing glass.

4. 4

   Stir the Mixture

   Fill the mixing glass with ice and stir until well chilled, about 30 seconds.

5. 5

   Strain into Glass

   Discard the ice water from the chilled glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass.

6. 6

   Garnish the Drink

   Garnish with a maraschino cherry dropped into the drink and express the oils from a piece of orange peel over the top before placing it in the glass.
