Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 ounces bourbon
- ½ ounce dry vermouth
- ½ ounce maple syrup
- 2 dashes angostura bitters
- cocktail cherries for serving
Instructions
- Add the bourbon, maple syrup, sweet vermouth, and bitters to a cocktail shaker or large glass filled with ice. Stir gently to chill.
- Strain into a coupe glass, or over ice in a rocks glass. Add one or two cocktail cherries and serve!
Notes
- Stir a Maple Manhattan, don't shake it: Technically, only drinks with juice, milk, cream, or egg in them should be shaken. Gently stir to chill and dilute slightly, you don't want any foamy bubbles on top.
- Experiment with different bitters: Angostura bitters is the standard for Manhattan cocktails, but orange bitters would add a festive flavor and pair well with the maple syrup.
- Serve up or on the rocks: Just like the classic drink, a Maple Manhattan can be served on the rocks (with ice) or "up" in a coupe or martini glass without ice.
