Main Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chill the Glass

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

  2. 2

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, combine 2 oz of Four Roses Bourbon, 1 oz of house made vermouth, and 2 dashes of bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice to the top. This will help chill and dilute the drink.

  4. 4

    Stir the Mixture

    Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to combine the ingredients and chill the cocktail.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

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

  6. 6

    Garnish

    Finally, garnish your Manhattan with a brandied cherry placed delicately in the center of the drink.
