Manhattan Smile
I heard about this one from my Cocktail Calendar. Apparently, this was listed in the cocktail book of the old Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Having no rye on hand, I tried this with Maker's Mark bourbon, and it was excellent.

2 oz. rye
1 oz. sweet (red) vermouth
2 dashes orange bitters
Garnish: Orange Wheel
Instructions
Fill a shaker with ice and add 2 dashes of Orange Bitters
