Manhattan, Dry
Rye No. 6
2 oz
A whiskey distilled from a grain mash that contains at least 51% rye, a grass and member of the wheat tribe 'Triticeae.'
1 oz
Also refered to as French vermouth, these are (usually) colorless vermouths that have not been sweetened, containing less than 4% sugar.
2 dash
A concentrated aromatic bitters made in Trinidad from water, ethanol, gentian and other herbs and spices; used in many classic cocktails like the Manhattan.

In cocktails, cherries are sweetened in a brine, like maraschino cherries (marr-ə-SKEE-noh) or in brandy, like brandied cherries. They are usually used as a garnish, muddled into the cocktail, or used simple for their sweetened brine.
1 twist
A yellow citrus fruit. The peel is often used as a garnish while the juice incorporated into the drink for a tart flavor profile (citric acid).
Stir rye, vermouth, and bitters with ice for about 20 seconds. Strain into chilled glass. Garnish with a lemon twist or cherry. #stir #straight
Less sweet than the traditional Manhattan, due to substituting dry vermouth and a twist for sweet vermouth and a cherry. Retain the cherry for a "half-dry" version.
