A smooth, rich, and slightly sweet whiskey-based cocktail with deep herbal and spicy notes from the vermouth and bitters.

Served in a chilled coupe glass, garnished with a cherry.

Variations include the Perfect Manhattan (equal parts sweet and dry vermouth) and the Black Manhattan (using amaro instead of vermouth).

Excellent with steak, charcuterie, or dark chocolate.
