What’s your favorite classic cocktail recipe?

Sometimes, you find yourself craving a familiar drink. No fancy ingredients, no unique twists, just a deliciously simple cocktail. There’s a reason the Manhattan is a classic. This boozy cocktail is served straight up, and although this drink has a bitter flavor, you might begin to notice a hint of sweetness on your second sip.

Some cocktails can feel complicated or intimidating, but the Manhattan is simple and easy to put together. You don’t need a lot of ingredients and it comes together quickly!

When choosing a whiskey for a Manhattan, most purists will recommend a rye whiskey. This stays true to the classic roots of the cocktail. You can make it with bourbon, but rye whiskey will give you a spicier flavor. Also, since this cocktail is made without ice in the glass, I recommend finding a rye whiskey that you really love. Since the whiskey won’t be diluted, the flavor really shines in this drink.
