WHAT IS IN A RED MOON OVER MANHATTAN COCKTAIL?

A perfect Manhattan cocktail is made of two parts whiskey, one part sweet vermouth, a dash of angostura bitters and garnished with orange peel and a maraschino cherry.

My variation of the cocktail incorporates red wine and swaps whiskey for bourbon. Both are served on the rocks.
