If I had a signature Manhattan, that would be it!
How do you make yours?

Craig, regardless of my whiskey of choice my ratio(whiskey to vermouth) is 5:1, two dashes of bitters and a 'bada bing' cherry. Depending on mood I drink it up or on the rocks.
My everyday 'go to' is VO, my favorite Canadian being Canadian Club 12 year Small Batch, tough to find in this backwater state of Pa !

I've had it and yes it's good but I tend to agree with Craig, pricey Whiskey is best for sipping IMO.
regardless...... so, do you drink your Manhattans 'perfect' ?
