For a bolder flavor, use a rye whiskey with a higher proof (at least 100 proof).
Experiment with different types of sweet vermouth to find your preferred balance.
If you prefer a less sweet cocktail, you can substitute dry vermouth for a Dry Manhattan.
Adding a small splash of simple syrup can enhance the sweetness if needed.
Ensure your ingredients are fresh and of high quality, as this significantly impacts the final taste.
