How to make Manhattan Cocktails that are truly exceptional
The Manhattan is the most popular cocktail in the world. Harry Craddock wrote the first description of 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 Angostura bitters. Many variations of the Manhattan recipe exist, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail consisting of four ingredients. It is served in a chilled glass. Its origins go back to the 19th Century when it was called The Four Deuces. That is because it contained two ounces of whisky, two ounces of rye and two ounces of gin. Bartenders and drinkers still love the original recipe.
Some prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. Both are equally good. When preparing a Manhattan, use equal parts of each ingredient. 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 all together and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture into a bowl and serve. Serve with a maraschino cherry, or a twist lemon peel.
