Irish Manhattan


I am posting this in honor of my irish grandfather. Every christmas and thanksgiving he would make a traditional manhattan and my mom and i would always doctor ours up with lots of ginger ale, sit back, and watch the fireworks explode! These have a very strong alcohol flavor and are potent- and i do not recommend making this if you are looking for a fru-fru drink! the recipe is adapted from bon appetite and they suggest that if you prefer it a bit drier to make the vermouth portion half sweet and half dry.

Steps


Fill a lowball glass with ice.
Add whiskey and sweet vermouth.
Stir.
Top with giner ale if desired and garnish with maraschino cherry.

Ingredients


irish whiskey, sweet vermouth, ginger ale, maraschino cherry
