The last few times I’ve been out to dinner, I have indulged in one of my favorite drinks–a Manhattan. It’s smooth, it’s strong, and it’s delicious. I recently picked up the ingredients so I can make them at home if I want. I’ve always loved the flavor of rye whiskey, so I used it for this drink. Splurging on high-quality cherries for this cocktail is a must because the bright pink maraschino cherries don’t work. The jarred deep red Bing cherries are the best if you can find them.
