Manhattan

  • Several dashes of bitters
  • 2oz Bourbon (Scotch didn't work as well for us)
  • 1oz Sweet vermouth
combine over ice and stir. Serve.

Thoughts: Claire is having a hard time coming up with anything to say about this drink other than "delicious with bourbon"and "tell them not to use scotch." If that's not an endorsement, I don't know what is.
[This is Claire] -- so far, Jim Beam produces the smoothest of Manhattans. Dewars = gross, Bulleit = somewhere in the middle. This will, of course, require more research.
