Manhattan Martini
Selecting the oh-so-classic Manhattan as July’s martini recipe was an easy choice– especially with Alexandra and Amanda traveling to New York City this weekend to attend some great events (more details to follow!). With its sophisticated status, frequent cameos in AMC series Mad Men, and overall tough urban appeal, the Manhattan is a standby cocktail, even if you’re not in a New York State of Mind.
Ingredients:
- 6 Parts Rye Whiskey
- 2 Parts Sweet Vermouth
- 1 Dash Angostura Bitters
- Maraschino Cherry
Preparation:
- Combine whiskey, vermouth and bitters in an icy cocktail shaker
- Shake and strain into a chilled martini glass
- Garnish with a maraschino cherry
- Enjoy!
