Mixologist Lino from Upstairs on the Square is very serious about getting the classic cocktail right. Like most things in life, it's best to start by getting the classics right then you can branch out into new territory from there. Learn once and for all why it matters if you shake or stir - a critical piece of info for all the martinis you'll ever make.

Ingredients

  • 2-¾ oz bourbon or rye whiskey
  • ¾ oz sweet vermouth
  • a few dashes Angostura bitters
  • Maraschino cherry to garnish

How-to

  1. Fill a pint glass with ice
  2. Add the bourbon or whiskey, the vermouth and the bitters
  3. Stir the drink gently so the ice doesn't break up in the drink but stir well so the drink is nice and cold
  4. Strain the drink into a chilled martini glass
  5. Garnish with a Maraschino cherry
