Earlier we posted about Manhattan, the drink. 

There are numerous variations of the Manhattan. 

Here is one I was unaware of and fell in love with. 

2oz Rye (Pikesville) 

1oz Sweet Vermouth (Carpano Antica) 

1 oz Grand Marnier Liqueur 

Orange or cherry bitters (3-4 shakes) 

Luxardo Maraschino Cherries (jar) 

Steps: 

1. Put your glass(es) in the freezer or put ice in them to cool them down. 
2. Combine the rye, vermouth, Grand Marnier and bitters. 
3. Dip your mixing spoon in the Luxardo Maraschino Cherry jar and coat it with the syrup. 
4. Take your dipped coated spoon and mix up all the ingredients. 
5. Get your drinking glass(es) ready. 
6. Take one or two Luxardo cherries out and put them in the glass 
7. Chill your Manhattan by adding ice or adding it to an ice filled container and stir vigorously for 30-45 seconds. 
8. Pour your Grand Manhattan into your glass leaving the ice behind. 
9. Enjoy. 

Wishes for a great day to all, 

Hugs too,
