I should have mentioned that since this Manhattan variant does not call for Angostura bitters, you should definitely be using Punt e Mes, which has a slight underlying bitterness, and NOT some other sweet vermouth.
I find that 1/4 oz. of Luxardo Maraschino liqueur is just the right amount.
Made this with Basil Hayden bourbon (not rye) and it was delicious.
This is a wonderful cocktail. The punt e meds and luxardo cherry juice is a yummy addition to the whiskey.
