The Isabelle Manhattan
Dissolve the 2 teaspoons brown sugar in water. Set aside. ~~~ ~~~ Put some ice in glass (small cubes are best) Add 2 or 3 shots of rye And, 1 shot of the dissolved brown sugar Then, 1 shot sweet vermouth Lastly, 5 shakes of orange bitters Finally, press cherry to glass then drop in. Stir lightly (That way the taste of the drink gradually reveals itself) ~~~ ~~~ Occasionally, I have one while writing.
