How To Mix a Manhattan in Las Vegas

By , About.com Guide

You'll need some Makers mark to truly have a good Manhattan. You'll also need a strong liver if you decide to have a few too many of these.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: seconds

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.

What You Need

  • Ice
  • 2 parts whiskey/bourbon
  • 1 part rosso vermouth

  • a cherry
