This batch was made by Husband, since the Manhattan is his signature drink. Blend two ounces Maker’s Mark bourbon, 1/2 ounce sweet vermouth, and a dash of angostura bitters. Shake with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass.  Garnish with bourbon black cherries.

And yes, Manhattan and all of NYC are closed except for essential businesses.  Wow.  I cannot imagine that vibrant city being empty–but I can imagine how dire the situation can get if hospitals become even more strained.  Good luck, New York–you are strong enough to get through this!
