			<description><![CDATA[Manhattans are usually served straight-up in a martini-style glass.

Measure out the rye whiskey and the sweet vermouth into a shaker with some ice. Add a small dash of bitters, if desired. Shake until very cold, and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a maraschino cherry. Brandied cherries are a bonus.

It is possible to drink these on the rocks, too, but the martini is the preferred style. If rye whiskey is not available, then bourbon can be used as a substitute. The finer the bourbon, the less vermouth is best (for lower shelf bourbon, you may want to move to 3 parts bourbon).

			<description><![CDATA[Prepare a martini glass by filling it with ice cubes -- spin the glass for a while to get the glass nice and cold.

Leave the glass alone, and fill a metal cocktail shaker with ice cubes.

Dump your ice cubes out of your glass, and dash with the bitters, then spin your glass to spread the bitters out.

Now measure out your gin and both kinds of vermouth, pouring carefully into the shaker. (Do NOT simply dump your gin in. Gin is a delicate drink, and can "bruise" easily. You *can* taste the difference between gin that's been handled properly and gin that's been abused. Do not abuse alcohol.)

Gently stir the gin in the shaker. Do NOT shake. (James Bond was wrong.)

Very gently, pour the mix into your glass, and add two olives on a spear of some sort. Metal is preferred, wood will do. Do not use plastic. Plastic is for holding peanuts at your local pool hall.

Enjoy quickly -- this drink is all but worthless warm.


Some other notes:

Even though this drink is served in a martini glass, do not call it a martini. Martinis contain gin and vermouth and have a twist. Stray from those ingredients even a little, and you do not have a martini, you have something else. No matter what others call it.

Unlike vodka, you get what you pay for with gin. Spend the money and get Tanqueray. Beefeater will do in a pinch. Bombay Sapphire is for *Gin and Tonics*. 

Always use clean glassware, and never re-use your ice.

Get a citrus tool for making your zests with. Soooo much easier.

Be generous with your ice -- It is made of water, afterall.

Get big olives. Sheer size does impress us. ;-)

On that note: always make your ice out of distilled water. Tap water is for making Tang with. You're a grownup, aren't you?

Have all your ingredients at the ready. Cocktails should be made quickly and served very cold.

			<description><![CDATA[There is an important distinction to be made between a Rob Roy and a Manhattan, and there seems to be some confusion going on here. A Rob Roy is scotch (best if it's blended, some of the peaty and smoky flavors of single malts will taste weird in cocktails) combined with both sweet and dry vermouth, as well as bitters (I like Angostura, but a lot of people also go with Campari). Combine in a shaker with ice, shake (duh), and pour into a chilled martini glass. Serve neat with a maraschino cherry (get the pre-booze soaked cherries if you're awesome). ]]></description>
