How To
How to make Manhattan Cocktails that are truly exceptional
The Manhattan is the most popular cocktail in the world. Harry Craddock first described it in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (1930). The cocktail is made up of equal amounts of sweet, dry, and rye whisky. It's mixed with ice cubes. Some people add bitters, orange juice, maraschino cherry, or even Angostura Bitters. There are many variations to the Manhattan recipe, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail with four ingredients. It can be served straight up in an ice-cold glass. Its origins date back to the 19th century when it was called the Four Deuces because it contained two measures of whisky, two measures of rye, and two measures of gin. The original recipe is still very popular with bartenders as well as drinkers today.
Some prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. Both are equally good. You should use equal amounts of each ingredient in a Manhattan. You would use two shots each of rye and sweet vermouth. Four shots of dry vermouth is also recommended. Eight shots of vodka are sufficient. Mix them together and let rest for 15 minutes. Strain the ice and enjoy. Garnish with a maraschino cherry or a twist of lemon peel.
