Serve in Coupe glass

Garnish: Luxardo maraschino cherry

How to make: STIR all ingredients with ice and strain into chilled glass.

1 1/2 fl oz  Straight rye whiskey (100 proof / 50% alc./vol.)
1/2 fl oz  Strucchi Dry Vermouth
1/2 fl oz  Strucchi Rosso Vermouth
1/3 fl oz  Amer Picon
1/3 fl oz  Luxardo Maraschino liqueur
1/3 fl oz  Chilled water (omit if using wet ice)

Review: A perfect Manhattan with bittersweet liqueur rather than aromatic bitters and a balancing dash of sweet maraschino liqueur.

If you can't obtain Picon Amer then consider substituting with 5ml Bigallet China-China , 5ml chilled water, and 1.25ml triple sec.
