Re: Manhattan
The book, The Right Drink for Every Situation, somewhat whimsical, claims the Manhattan is the right drink for drinking alone. The only variation they mention is to use dry vermouth in addition to sweet vermouth, which they call the Perfect Manhattan:
2.25 oz bourbon or rye
.5 oz dry vermouth
.5 oz sweet vermouth
long dash Angostura Bitters
Stit with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass
Garnish with lemon peel

Re: Manhattan
It's an opposite martini: instead of gin use burbin, instead of dry vermouth use sweet and instead of an olive use a cherry. Boom, a Manhattan. Aslo insteed of spelling correctly use a dictionary... fuck it, it 3am.

Re: Manhattan
Although I mostly agree with the Perfect Manhattan recipe, a "long" dash of bitters is too much, IMO. You only need a few drops.

How 'bout some Southern Comfort and Ameretto? A plumb instead of a cherry? A wine flute instead of that yucky martini or highball glass, since a Manhatten isn't really a highball, is it, darling?

Bourbon, sweet vermouth, orange bitters? Sorry. Sounds like my favorite quaff in the heat of the summer.
