How To
How To Make The Best Manhattan Cocktail
The Manhattan is the most popular cocktail in the world. It was first described by Harry Craddock in his book "The Savoy Bar Book", published in 1930. This cocktail consists of equal amounts sweet vermouth, dry Vermouth, and rye whiskey mixed with ice cubes. Some people add bitters or orange juice, maraschino cherries, or Angostura Bitters. The Manhattan recipe is available in many variations, 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 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 continue to love the original recipe.
Some people prefer to use bourbon instead of rye, while others prefer to use brandy. Both are equally good. When preparing a Manhattan, use equal parts of each ingredient. For example, two shots of rye, two shots of sweet vermouth, four shots of dry vermouth, and eight shots of gin. Mix them all together and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture and serve. Serve with a maraschino cherry, or a twist lemon peel.
