For a richer flavor, consider using a high-rye bourbon. Adjust the amount of vermouth to your liking. Some prefer a slightly drier Manhattan with less vermouth. Experiment with different types of bitters for added complexity. Angostura bitters are traditional, but orange bitters can also be a delightful addition. Use a jigger or measuring spoons to ensure accurate proportions for a balanced cocktail. The quality of the ingredients matters. Use the best bourbon and vermouth you can afford for the best possible result.

A timeless classic, the Manhattan is a sophisticated dance between the boldness of bourbon and the subtle sweetness of vermouth, crowned with the vibrant jewel of a maraschino cherry. It's more than a drink; it's an experience.
