1 part sweet vermouth
1 to 2 dashes bitters, such as Angostura

I'm allergic to oranges, so I used a lemon twist instead of an orange peel. It was still delicious.

I'm not a fan of vermouth, so I used dry sherry instead. It turned out really well.

I made this cocktail with bourbon instead of rye whiskey and it turned out great. I think I actually prefer it this way.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my Manhattan cocktail turned out really bitter. I think I added too much bitters.

This cocktail is the perfect way to end a meal. It's sweet, but not too sweet, and it has a nice bite to it.

I'm not a big fan of whiskey, but I really enjoyed this cocktail. The sweet vermouth and bitters balance out the whiskey perfectly.

This cocktail is so easy to make and it's always delicious. I love that I can use different types of whiskey and vermouth to create different variations of the drink.
