Yummly
Though no one agrees on where the Manhattan cocktail was created, it’s an undeniable classic that’s smooth, strong, and a little sweet, too. A Manhattan made with rye whiskey is a rush of flavors: sweet vermouth, cacao and caramel, cherry, and spice with a strong finish that takes you back to whiskey. Bourbon makes a sweeter drink with more fruit and caramel notes. A few tweaks to the classic drink set this one apart — an extra dash of bitters, the option of Hella brand bitters for a touch more sharpness, and an upgrade to an intensely flavorful Luxardo cherry from the usual maraschino.
