Garnish the cocktail with one or more maraschino cherries.
Maraschino Cherries
Notes
My Top Tips♡ Try varying the brand of Maraschino cherries you use. Luxardo cherries are very expensive, but a great splurge for the Holidays and celebrations.Substitutions& VariationsSubstitute Plain Bitters. If you don't have orange bitters you can substitute plain bitters.Omit the Bitters. For a very sweet cocktail, you can omit the bitters entirely.Substitute Whisky. You can substitute your favorite whiskey for the brandy, which is also very tasty. But the cocktail would then be a Brooklyn and not a Brandy Manhattan.Make-Ahead & StorageYou can pre-make multiple servings by mixing all of the ingredients in a carafe. For example to make a batch of 4 servings of this cocktail, mix 4x the ingredients in a carafe. Cover the carafe and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Then pour the cocktail into prechilled glasses or over the rocks and serve.In Loving Memory of my Mom and Grandma, who loved a good Brandy Manhattan Cocktail.
