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
Combine Ingredients
In a mixing glass, add 2 ounces of bourbon, 1 ounce of sweet vermouth, and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters.
3
Add Ice and Stir
Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes and stir the mixture gently for about 30 seconds until well chilled and properly diluted.
4
Strain into Glass
Discard the ice water from your chilled glass and strain the cocktail mixture into the glass using a fine mesh strainer or a regular strainer.
5
Garnish
Garnish the drink with a Luxardo cherry or two and express the oils from a twist of orange peel over the top of the cocktail before placing it in the glass.
6
Serve
Serve immediately and enjoy your classic Manhattan cocktail.
