And I need to up my vermouth game. I use the cheaper stuff and I realize I am bastardizing the drink. I always add both orange and angostura bitter to mine. I usually have mine straight up but will occasionally pour over an ice sphere. The rocks shit just waters it down too quick.

Try spiced cherry bitters. That's my favorite. And if you are going to use cheap vermouth get at least Martini & Rossi. Don't go for that super cheap shit. The better the vermouth the better the cocktail. Olive & Ivy is who turned me onto Antica. They make great Manhattans and their fillets, OMFG. Dude I live in KC which is like the kingdom of steaks and Olive & Ivy's fillet is arguably the best ****ing steak I have ever had.
