How to Make a Manhattan Up

A Manhattan "up" mixes the robust taste of bourbon with the sweet juice of cherries and a hint of sweet vermouth. If you're tired of the standard old martini, and aren't into the fruity martini variations, then you must try a Manhattan "up." Here is a great recipe.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Bourbon
• Sweet vermouth
• Maraschino cherries and juice
• Ice cubes
• Shaker
• Martini glass, chilled

1. Combine ice, 3 oz. of bourbon (2 shots), a healthy splash of sweet vermouth and an even healthier splash of cherry juice into your shaker.

2. Cap your shaker and give the drink a good sturdy shake for about 15 seconds.

3. Pour the Manhattan into a chilled martini glass using a strainer.

4. Finish the drink by garnishing it with two cherries. Let them sink to the bottom of the glass. Start sipping.
