Here’s my twist on the Bourbon Manhattan. I called it the Classic Manhattan Bourbon Martini!
First thing to do is chill your martini class by filling it with ice cubes.
Three ingredients: Bourbon, Bitters and Sweet Vermouth. Here’s the simple way to remember the recipe. The area code for Manhattan is 212. So… in a shaker with ice add 2 ounces of bourbon; 1 ounce of sweet vermouth; and, 2 dashes of bitters. 212! Stir slightly. Don’t shake. Strain cocktail into chilled Martini glass.
A Most Option: 1 maraschino cherry.
Cheers!
