Very smooth and enjoyable. Had a craving for a Manhattan, saw this recipe, tried it, and was not disappointed.

Considering how delectable and how fast it's made, there's no reason to gulp down a bottle of bourbon like a barbarian anymore. Instead, the same amount can be ingested in small quantities whilst retaining some amount of class 🙃

I was disappointed. I guess I'm just too young to enjoy a Manhattan. I unfortunately got mostly the ethanol from the Bourbon (replete with the burn), with none of the nuances whatsoever. The sweet vermouth (I used Cinzano) was completely lost, and the bitters just tasted like bitters. Any insight? Is it just that I have underwhelming ingredients?

Which bourbon did you use?

Chris, I think Manhattans are better balanced with a 2:1 ratio of whiskey to vermouth, rather than the 3:1 suggested here. I also like them with a bit more syrup from the cherry jar -- maybe a barspoon. I don't know what you were using for ingredients, but better ones will of course make a better drink. No matter what brand of vermouth you use, it needs to be fresh. Vermouth goes stale after a few months once it's opened, even if you keep it in the refrigerator.
