What is a drink that uses vermouth shaken over ice with bitters?

Cocktail Colin says:
When looking for a cocktail that combines vermouth shaken with bitters, two outstanding candidates from the list provided are the Manhattan Sweet and the Maker's Manhattan Up.
The Manhattan Sweet, with a rating of 4.9/5, is an excellent choice for its richness and balance. It consists of sweet red vermouth, a dash of Angostura Bitters, and robust bourbon, all shaken to perfection. This method brings out each ingredient's flavors and creates a soothing blend. Since the Manhattan Sweet is shaken, it achieves a pleasantly chilled temperature, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy a classic cocktail with a little twist. Its sweet and smoky profile makes it an elegant option, suitable for those who appreciate the harmony of sweet and bitter.
Moreover, the Maker's Manhattan Up is another delightful shaken cocktail featuring vermouth and bitters. With bourbon and red vermouth at its core, it provides a similar balance between warming whiskey undertones and a sweet, herbaceous vermouth finish—an easy option if you love a bit of sweetness in your drink.
Both these cocktails encapsulate the essence of shaking over ice to achieve a perfectly cold, alcoholic drink. Enjoy exploring these if you're intrigued by the combination of vermouth and bitters shaken together.
