Satan's Sin's unasked-for Manhattan recipe:

(a work very much still in progress)

1. Do NOT use a cocktail shaker! A shaken whiskey drink comes out "foamy!" No good! Is best to mix in glass itself!

2. Put cherry into an old-fashioned glass.

3. Add a small handful of ice.

4. Splash in a generous dollop of whiskey. Jack Daniel's is always good, but I actually prefer a cheapie called Ten High. Has a slight sweetness.

5. Carefully pour in a half capful of sweet vermouth.

6. One and one-half dashes of bitters (tricky, I know, but nothing is easy, now is it?).

7. Gently, gently stirr with plastic cocktail stirrer, preferably one that has a tiny whistle or female form with enormous breasts.

Let me know how it sits!
