How To
How to make Manhattan Cocktails that are truly exceptional
The Manhattan is the most popular cocktail 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 is available in many variations, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail that's made with four ingredients. It's served in a chilled glass. Its origins date back to the 19th century when it was called the Four Deuces because it contained two measures of whisky, two measures of rye, and two measures of gin. The original recipe is still very popular with bartenders as well as drinkers today.
Some prefer bourbon to rye and others prefer to drink brandy. Both can be used equally. You should use equal amounts of each ingredient in 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 all together and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture into a bowl and serve. Serve with a maraschino cherry, or a twist lemon peel.
