Classic Manhattan

Classic Manhattan

Makes 1 drink.

This is a manly man's drink. The Mr. made it. I tried a sip. And gave it back. Tasted much like straight whiskey and not much at all like anything else.

2.5 parts bourbon
1/2 part sweet vermouth
maraschino cherry

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes. Add bourbon and sweet vermouth. Do not shake, but instead gently stir ingredients in a circular motion, being careful not to break the ice cubes (The LL's Translation: Heaven forbid you should add any water). Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a maraschino cherry.
