Notes & Tips
You may prefer to shake your Manhattans rather than stirring. If shaken, your Manhatten will be more cloudy and topped with an algae-like foam. It will also feel thinner on the tongue.
The cocktail is served in a cocktail glass and often garnished with a maraschino cherry or twist of orange for added visual appeal.
