How To
How to make Manhattan's best cocktail
One of the most well-known cocktails in the world is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock first described it in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (1930). You will find equal amounts of sweet and dry vermouths, gin, and whiskey in this cocktail. Some people add bitters or orange juice, maraschino cherries, or Angostura Bitters. There are many variations on the Manhattan recipe.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail consisting of four ingredients. It is served in a chilled glass. The Four Deuces cocktail was first created in the 19th century. It consisted of two measures whisky, two measurements of rye and two measures 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 can be used equally. Make sure to use equal amounts of each ingredient when making Manhattans. 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 mixture and serve. Garnish the glass with a maraschino cherry and a twist of lemon zest.
