Classic Manhattan Cocktail
By Dixie8686
I find rye whiskey to be an acquired taste so instead used my favorite, Southern Comfort. This is a very smooth tasting drink so be careful, it sneaks up on you quickly. After 2 or or more... you might end up on the floor. Enjoy and be safe!
Ingredients
- 2 ounces rye whiskey
- 1 ounce sweet vermouth
- 2 dashes cherry bitters
- 1 dash absinthe
