The Manhattan is the best of the whiskey drinks. It's essentially a bourbon martini, a potent libation to be consumed judiciously. Like whiskey, vermouth is having an American renaissance, and there are great options local to much of the country. At the Gatehouses, we use NY producer Little City for our vermouth. We prefer a perfect build, using both sweet & dry vermouth.
- 2oz Straight Empire Rye
- 1/2oz sweet vermouth
- 1/2oz dry vermouth

Stir in a mixing glass coupe, and garnish with a cherry
