As the name suggests, this drink is rumored to have originated at the Manhattan Club in New York City in the early 1870s. Dr. Iain Marshall made it to serve at a banquet honoring then-governor and presidential candidate Samuel J. Tilden. The first-ever recipe called for equal parts vermouth and whiskey, and a dash of orange bitters. Today, it’s made with two parts rye, one part sweet vermouth, a dash of bitters and a cherry garnish.
