A Top-Shelf Manhattan

Well, what better cocktail to garnish with Luxardo cherries than the most classic cherry-garnished cocktail of all?

 

Look at that. So much classier, and a million times tastier, than those neon-red monstrosities from the grocery store.

 

Wes had had a pretty rotten day yesterday, and this cocktail was medicinal as well as for pleasure. We broke out some of the good stuff.

 

2 ounces Rittenhouse Bonded 100 proof Rye Whiskey.

1 ounce sweet vermouth.

1 dash Abbott's Bitters (produced circa 1939).

 

Stir. Strain. Garnish with two Luxardo cherries on a pick.

 

It's what the doctor ordered.
