Mmmm, it's like a bourbon martini. Warms you right up on a cold day, and makes you feel so much more friendly towards the annoying masses. Also, most bartenders can be trusted to get this one right.The Manhattan
2 parts good bourbon (I like Knob Creek)
1 part sweet vermouth
dash bitters
Shake over ice and strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with maraschino cherry. I like to add a spoonful of the cherry juice, too.

It looks pretty. I just don't know of I like bourbon (my only experience being a very bad mint julep). I'll let you know if I try it.
My favourite drink! Here in W. Canada, we make it with Canadian Club whiskey. In Chicago I used to drink a Brandy Manhattan. I can't wait to try the bourbon version.
This is my first foray over here to Books 'n' Booz, and I must say, so far your books to booze ratio is a little out of balance :-)
