I typically opt for a classic Manhattan when we’re cocktailing at home. It’s such an easy, yet sophisticated, cocktail to make which lends itself perfectly to the upcoming holiday season. With just four ingredients (if you include the cherries), a Manhattan relies on quality spirits. I promise that it’s worth spending the extra money, even on the sweet vermouth. (Carpano Antica is my favorite and it should be kept refrigerated.) You’ll find the recipe below. Cheers!
What You’ll Need:
- Cocktail mixing glass and strainer
- Mixing spoon
- Cocktail glass (I prefer the look of a coupe, but a double old fashioned glass works, too.)
- Jigger

Makes one serving.
