A dry Manhattan.

3 ounces Old Overholt rye whiskey (poured from a flask kept in the freezer)
½ ounce Antica Formula vermouth (refrigerated, of course)
5 dashes Angostura bitters

Combine in a cocktail glass (chilled in the freezer) and garnish with a cocktail cherry.

I don't know, seems like it might not be cold enough.

I think a "Dry" Manhattan would probably more properly be made with dry vermouth. And I'd think it would also probably be better made stirred with ice, allowing for chilling and only slight dilution, and maybe cutting back on the bitters. But of course, the best way to make it is always to make it so it tastes good to you!
