I found that I enjoy a good Manhattan. I thought I could try this at home. My attempts have been lackluster so far.

I tried using Maker's Mark with Martini Rossi sweet and dry Vermouth. Then swapped the Bourbon for Knob Creek. I was disappointed.

Where do I go next?

Basically I use

1 part Bourbon 1/2 part Sweet Vermouth 1/2 part dry Vermouth Dash bitters

Way too much vermouth. The standard ratio is 2 parts bourbon/rye to 1 parts vermouth. When folks "adjust to taste" its usually a lower ratio amount of vermouth. I used to like aroud 3 parts bourbon to one part vermouth and two to three dashes of bitters.
