Cocktail Ingredients

Method

Cocktail 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 cocktail.

  2. 2

    Mix Ingredients

    In a mixing glass, add 2 oz of Four Roses Bourbon, 1 oz of Antica Carpano Sweet Vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters.

  3. 3

    Add Ice

    Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup). Stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds to chill and dilute the cocktail.

  4. 4

    Strain and Serve

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

  5. 5

    Garnish

    Garnish the drink with a maraschino cherry and an orange peel. To release the oils from the orange peel, twist it over the drink before adding it.

  6. 6

    Enjoy

    Your classic Manhattan cocktail is ready to be enjoyed. Sip slowly and appreciate the flavors.
