I love that this recipe uses rye whiskey instead of bourbon. It gives the Manhattan a much more spicy flavor profile.

I'm not a big fan of Manhattans, but I have to say this recipe is pretty darn good. The sweetness of the vermouth really helps to smooth out the whiskey.

I love that this recipe uses sweet vermouth instead of dry vermouth. It gives the Manhattan a much richer, more complex flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of whiskey-based cocktails, but this one has definitely changed my mind. The sweetness of the vermouth and the bitters really mellows out the whiskey and makes it so easy to drink.
