Maraschino syrup (from cherry jar) image

How to make:

STIR all ingredients with ice and strain into chilled glass.

Garnish:

Orange zest twist (discarded) & Luxardo Maraschino cherry

Comment:

I must confess to preferring my Manhattans served 'sweet', or 'perfect' at a push. The Manhattan is complex, challenging and moreish. Best of all, it's available in a style to suit every palate.

Variant:

Manhattan Dry and Manhattan Perfect. Also served over ice in an old-fashioned glass.
