Ingredients
60 ml 2 fl oz rye whiskey
30 ml 1 fl oz sweet vermouth
10 ml 1/3 fl oz pure maple syrup
2 dashes 2 dashes Angostura bitters
Ice cubes
1 1 maraschino cherry
Equipment
Cocktail Shaker- Hawthorne strainer
- Jigger
- Coupe glass
Instructions
- Begin by chilling your coupe or martini glass in the freezer to ensure your cocktail stays cold longer.
- In a cocktail shaker, combine the rye whiskey (or bourbon), sweet vermouth, maple syrup, and Angostura bitters.
- Fill the shaker with ice cubes to the top. This helps in diluting the cocktail slightly and brings it to the perfect temperature.
- Traditionally, Manhattans are stirred, so use a bar spoon to stir the cocktail in the shaker for about 30 seconds. However, feel free to shake if you prefer a slightly more diluted cocktail.
- Using the strainer, pour the mixture into the chilled glass, ensuring no ice cubes transfer to your glass.
- Add a maraschino cherry to the cocktail for the perfect finishing touch.
Notes
- For an added depth of flavor, you can use a smoked maple syrup that imparts a subtle smokiness to complement the whiskey beautifully.
