Rum Manhattan

Rum Manhattan

2 oz Well Aged Dark Rum
1/2 oz of Sweet Red Vermouth
Dash of Angostura Bitters
3 Large Ice cubes
Maraschino Cherry
Twist of Orange Peel
Lime slice

Add the first three ingredients with 3 large ice cubes in a Martini Shaker.
Shake gently to chill the mixture.
Add a cherry and place it in a chilled glen cairn glass.
Strain the mixed ingredients over the cherry but do not add the ice.
Rub the cut edge of the orange peel over the rim of the glass and twist it over the drink.
(This will release the oil from the orange zest into the drink)
Discard the peel.
Optional Lime slice garnish
