Sherman

Name: Sherman
Yield: 1
Ingredients: 2 ounces sweet vermouth; 1 ounce rye whiskey; 3 dashes absinthe; 1 dash Angostura Bitters; 1 dash orange bitters

The Sherman is a slight variation of the Manhattan. Properly made, it has twice as much vermouth as it does whiskey, which is a little uncommon in a cocktail, but it produces a very nice result.
