The Manhattan is a classic cocktail believed to date back to the late 1800s. It's made with a bracing mixture of bourbon or rye whiskey mixed with sweet vermouth and a dash of Angostura bitters.

Manhattan Cocktail

fluid ounces rye whiskey

sweet vermouth

Angostura bitters

ice cubes

maraschino cherry

Combine whiskey, vermouth, and bitters in a cocktail mixing class. Add ice and stir until chilled. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.


I was given many years ago the recipe for 'the perfect Manhattan' as follows: 2 oz. 100 proof bourbon (like Jeremiah Weed) 1 oz. extra dry Vermouth 5 drops bitters 1-2 Maraschino cherries plus 1 teaspoon cherry juice. Serve over ice or not. You won't order it 'out' as others will not be as good.

This is a true classic- bracing for sure but yummy all the same.

My favorite drink. I do not care for it with Bourbon though. I usually use a Canadian whiskey. It's strong so I avoid serving it to novice drinkers or those who like sweet drinks.

Classic indeed! I prefer to use bourbon. While I don't typically enjoy sweet cocktails this one straddles the fence between sweet and smoky....

Great classic! Thank you for saying STIR...never SHAKE....it ruins the whiskey! We love it with bourbon.

You have to have a basic understanding of vermouth before diving into this recipe. This recipe is fabulous (5 Star) using a good sweet vermouth. Those preferring drinks on the sweeter side can even bump that up towards a fullThe alternate recipe from Martha is also fabulous, but using dry vermouth makes it something other than a true Manhattan. There are also other high quality red vermouth on the market now
