How To
How to make the best Manhattan cocktail
A Manhattan is one of the most famous cocktails in the world. Harry Craddock described the Manhattan in his 1930 book, "The Savoy Bar Book". 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. The Manhattan recipe has many variations, such as the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail made from four ingredients and served straight up in a chilled glass. The original recipe dates back to 1921, when it was known as the Four Deuces. It contained two measures each of whisky and rye, along with two measures each of gin. Today, the original recipe is still popular among bartenders and drinkers alike.
Some prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. Both can be used equally. Use equal amounts of each ingredient to make a Manhattan. Two shots of rye will be used, along with two shots sweet vermouth, four shots dry vermouth, eight shots of bittersweet vermouth and eight shots gin. 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.
