Manhattan drink

Ingredients:

• 2 ounces rye whiskey
• 1 ounce sweet vermouth
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• Maraschino cherry, for garnish
• Orange twist, for garnish (optional)
• Ice cubes

Instructions:

1. Fill a mixing glass or cocktail shaker with ice cubes.
2. Pour in the rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and Angostura bitters.
3. Stir the mixture well until it’s chilled, about 30 seconds.
4. Strain the drink into a chilled cocktail glass.
5. Garnish with a maraschino cherry, dropping it into the glass.
6. Optionally, twist a piece of orange peel over the drink to release its oils, then drop it into the glass for extra flavor.
7. Enjoy your classic Manhattan cocktail!

You can also make a Manhattan on the rocks by serving it over ice instead of straining it into a cocktail glass. Adjust the amount of bitters according to your taste preference, and feel free to experiment with different types of whiskey for unique variations. Cheers!
