How To
How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
One of the most famous cocktails is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock first described it in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (1930). In this cocktail, equal amounts of sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, gin, and rye whiskey are mixed together with ice cubes. You can add bitters, orange juice or maraschino cherry to this cocktail, or 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 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 loved by bartenders, drinkers, and even chefs.
Some prefer bourbon over rye while others prefer brandy. Both can be equally effective. Make sure to use equal amounts of each ingredient when making Manhattans. Two shots of rye, two of sweet vermouth and four of dry vermouth are enough to make a Manhattan. Eight shots of Gin is sufficient. Mix them all together, and let it sit for 15 mins. Strain the mixture, and then serve. Serve with a maraschino Cherry or a twist from lemon peel.
