    How to Mix a Manhattan in Las Vegas
    From your Las Vegas for Visitors Guide

    You'll need some Makers mark to truly have a good Manhattan.


    Here's How:
    1. Grab yourself some broken ice and drop it into a shaker.
    2. Pour in two parts either bourbon or rye, like I said before, I use the Makers Mark.
    3. Toss in one part rosso vermouth, it could be a little less, than a entire part.
    4. Add a dash of bitters, just a dash!
    5. Shake, gently and pour into a Martini Glass. Or, over the rocks in a "on the rocks" glass
    6. You can add a cherry at this time but really, why waste the time, just start enjoying.


    Tips:

    1. You might need to experiment with the quantites of the Makers Mark and the vermouth.
    2. This is a powerful drink with a hint of pretentiousness, enjoy it.
