Cuisine American
- 1 stick cinnamon
- 2 ounces bourbon
- ¾ ounce sweet vermouth
- 3 dashes orange bitters
- 1 teaspoon maraschino cherry syrup (or more, if desired) recommend Luxardo
- Maraschino cherries for garnish recommend Luxardo
Very carefully light the end of the cinnamon stick on fire. Blow it out or let the flame extinguish. Place the smoking cinnamon stick on a heat proof plate and cover with an upside-down cocktail glass.
Add bourbon, sweet vermouth, bitters, and cherry syrup to a mixing glass filled with ice.
Stir well and strain the Manhattan into the smoked cocktail glass. Garnish with maraschino cherries and/or burnt cinnamon stick, if desired.
Tips:
- Light the cinnamon stick very carefully - you can use anything from a regular lighter, matches, or kitchen torch.
- Store your sweet vermouth in the fridge for the longest shelf life. If you don't drink a lot of cocktails with sweet vermouth, make sure to buy a split, half bottle as it can go bad quickly and equal less waste.
