...a great winter cocktail.
Ingredients: 2 oz rye whiskey 1/2 oz sweet vermouth 2-3 dashes Angostura bitters maraschino cherry for garnish Preparation: Pour the ingredients into a mixing glass with ice cubes. Stir well. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with the cherry. |

I'd alter the ingredients as follows:
Fill cocktail glass with ice Into mixing cup with 4-5 ice cubes pour: 1-1/2 oz rye whiskey or bourbon, of preference 1-1/2 oz Noilly Prat sweet vermouth 1/4 oz Luxardo maraschino cherry liqueur 1 dash orange bitters stir until chilled, shaking causes pieces of ice to dislodge from cubes causing dilution after pouring dump ice from cocktail glass strain cocktail into glass carefully spoon cherry with a small amount of syrup into bottom of glass to achieve redish layer at bottom for appearance serve. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: My goto cocktail.... My preference is with Bulliet Rye and Noilly-Prat vermouth Bingo! Exactly mine, too. Answers my question from the Martini thread. Shared a pitcher of them with my Brother on his birthday the other night. VERY nice.  Well Cincinnatus, I just used your recipe that you posted in the OP. Exceptions are Bulleit Bourbon and Peychaud Bitters (the only bottles of Angostura were pints and I don't need that much). I have tasted a Manhattan for the first time, verdict: Damn you guys!  I thought the martini's were awesome, this is really good!  I am in trouble. |

It's a good Winter or Fall drink. there are times when it is just right. |
