Made with a perfect blend of whiskey, sweet vermouth, and a dash of bitters, this drink strikes a balance between sweet, bitter, and robust flavors. Often served in a classic coupe glass and garnished with a cherry, the Manhattan is perfect for formal gatherings, special occasions, or a relaxing evening at home.

Its simplicity and rich flavor profile make it an enduring classic that’s easy to prepare yet impressive to serve.
