How to Make a Manhattan | a simple classic cocktail recipe

In this video I teach you my manhattan recipe! I discuss some manhattan variations as well as my personal story of how I learned about the "perfect" manhattan. The base spirit I'm using is a 100 proof rye whiskey - I like the higher proof whiskey because I find it holds up to the richness of the sweet vermouth. I share my manhattan story at the end of the video, let me know if you have your own! Cheers!
