How to make Manhattan Cocktails that are truly exceptional

One of the most famous cocktails is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock introduced it to the world 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. There are many variations on the Manhattan recipe.

Manhattan is a classic cocktail made from four ingredients and served straight up in a chilled glass. It's origins can be traced back to the 19th-century when it was known by the Four Deuces. This is because it had two measures whiskey, two measures rye, two measures vodka, and two measure of gin. Bartenders and drinkers continue to love the original recipe.

Some prefer to make bourbon, others prefer to make rye. However, both work equally well. 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 all ingredients together and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture into a bowl and serve. Serve with a maraschino Cherry or a twist from lemon peel.
