#1) Good Maraschino cherries or similar.

Amarena Fabbri cherries are my go to for a Manhattan. So much better than even the good Maraschinos.

		Agreed.

Good maraschino cherries are expensive and yet so incredibly good they're absolutely worth it.

The syrup they're in is also incredible.

		I have never poured them into a cereal bowl with whole milk and used a spoon. Or so I claim.
