Manhattan

 

On the subject of cocktails, I tried to research a Martini Rosso one, namely:-

The Manhattan Cocktail

Ingredients: Whiskey (usually rye), sweet red vermouth, and Angostura bitters, stirred with ice and strained.

Garnish: A Maraschino cherry or lemon twist.

Style: A classic, spirit-forward cocktail, typically served "up" (chilled, without ice) in a cocktail glass.

Not convinced. Nah. Whiskey flavour is too overpowering.

I think a better partner to Martini Rosso is Gin, or Vodka:-

That's mush closer to the "Vermouth con Gin" NJB & I were bought in a coach stop on the way to Pamplona back in the day. Yes please!
