Drink of the Day (October 3)

Quite honestly one of the most atrocious drinks I've ever had, but I'll give it a shout out here because my grandpa loves them to death. :) I have many fond memories of him drinking them over a campfire while deer hunting and while I hate them, I suppose they could be ordered at a bar quite often. So here it is...

The Manhattan
Garnish is almost more important to this drink than the ingredients, as it's pretty simple to make otherwise. Simply stir a blended whiskey and a sweet vermouth together with ice, and strain it into a cocktail glass. Add a twist of orange, top with a maraschino cherry, and there you go! Gulp it down quick because it's not a very good taste for the non-wiskey aquired drinker such as myself!
