These look easy and delicious. I’m working on truffles right now for the MN state fair Ghirardelli contest. I can’t get the tempering right so the coating does not streak:(

Thanks for the info! Man, I really had the cocktail wrong! I’ll gave to pick up some better Vermouth and try again.

Do you serve it neat or on ice?

May I make 5 suggestions?

1. Carpano Antica Formula Vermouth or Punt e Mes

2. Rye

4. 2:1 not 1:1

4. DONT SHAKE! STIR on ice until cold!!

5. Luxardo Marasca Cherries, or better yet make your own!

Shaking a Manhattan is a crime! There’s no citrus or cream to mix, so all you’ll get is over-dilution, and a cloudy drink from bubbles and chips of ice. A stirred Manhattan is clear and silky.

Your recipe is heavy on Vermouth – personally I like a lot of Vermouth too, but 1:1 is uncommon. 2:1 rye:vermouth is usual.

However, you’re completely right to fuss with bitters! They’re key to a tasty Manhattan.
