Classic Manhattan
From Jan Hegewald
Ingredients:
2 1/4 ounces bourbon (Maker’s Mark recommended)
7/8 ounces sweet vermouth (Noilly Prat recommended)
2 dashes orange bitters
Preparation:
Add ingredients to a bar glass filled with ice. Stir for about 30 seconds, then strain into a martini glass using a julep strainer. Garnish with a maraschino cherry (preferably natural Italian, which has a richer flavor and darker color than the commonly found bright-red cherry).
Note: Although not as visually striking as some other drinks, the cocktail’s sophistication and the precision needed to make it well would impress a cocktail connoisseur.
