How To
How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
A Manhattan is one the most iconic cocktails in the entire world. Harry Craddock introduced it to the world 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. Some people add bitters, orange juice, maraschino cherry, or even Angostura Bitters. There are many variations to the Manhattan recipe, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail, made with four ingredients. It is served straight up in chilled glasses. 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 bourbon over rye while others prefer brandy. Both work equally well. You should use equal amounts of each ingredient in a Manhattan. For example, two shots of rye, two shots of sweet vermouth, four shots of dry vermouth, and eight shots of 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 lemon peel.
