The classic Manhattan cocktail inspired the creation of the Emotional Rescue. This drink includes your choice of rye whisky, quinquina, and dry Vermouth. Its hint of cherry flavor comes from Cherry Heering and maraschino liqueur. Garnish with orange twists or slices for an additional citrus boost.

Another cocktail similar to the Manhattan is this Remember the Maine drink, named after the U.S.S. Main battleship.

The Cherry Blossom Fizz looks almost as beautiful as its namesake and tastes incredible.
