Manhattan Time...

This is an old school cocktail and it has made quite a comeback as a popular drink, especially in swankilicious places like Palm Springs...
Manhattan - Patrick's cocktail of choice!
Manhattan
  • 2 oz bourbon
  • 1/2 oz sweet vermouth
  • 1/2 oz dry vermouth
  • 1 dash bitters (orange bitters are nice too if you like it a touch sweeter)
  • maraschino cherry and a splash of cherry juice 
Swirl with ice to chill, pour into a cocktail glass, and garnish with a maraschino cherry.

And of course, most Manhattan drinkers today generally order a Maker's Mark Manhattan - UP.
Maker's Mark in Mark's and Glenn's super cool frosted glass thingy...
If you're not already a Manhattan fan, you should give it a try, and make sure you put on your SWANKY-TUDE when you do.
