What did you drink last night?

I was excited to pick up some straight Rye from the store last night as well as some sweet vermouth and my go-to cheap bourbon (Benchmark).

I've been getting into Manhattans lately, and saw that Rye is the way to go rather than bourbon. Sure enough - delicious! Not sure if it's "correct" or not, but I found I still prefer the dry vermouth over sweet. Perhaps I'm refining my recipe - 3oz Rye, .5oz dry vermouth, two splashes of bitters.
