Fill a mixing glass with ice and add the rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters.

Stir the mixture smoothly for 30 seconds to ensure it is thoroughly chilled and slightly diluted.

Strain the liquid into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass.

The Manhattan is traditionally served “up” (without ice).

Garnish with a high-quality brandied cherry (like Luxardo) to finish.
