First attempt, a Manhattan, using my Luxardo maraschino cherries, OMG.

Yup! they can do that to you, but what whiskey did you use?
and do use a good quality sweet Vermouth, makes a huge difference.

And, ideally, that whiskey was a rye. That's the ticket for a killer Manhattan.

And I totally agree about quality. Vermouth. No easier way to ruin this wonderful cocktail than with an inferior vermouth.

I am going no-frills tonight, drinking and thoroughly enjoying Appleton V/X and coconut water in a hottub while enjoying a holiday weekend getaway.
