How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
A Manhattan is one of the most famous cocktails in the world. It was first described by Harry Craddock in his book "The Savoy Bar Book", published in 1930. This cocktail consists of equal amounts sweet vermouth, dry Vermouth, and rye whiskey mixed with ice cubes. Some people add bitters orange juice, maraschino Cherry, or Angostura bitters. The Manhattan recipe is available in many variations, including the Old Fashioned.
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 bourbon over rye while others prefer brandy. However, both work equally well. When preparing a Manhattan, use equal parts of each ingredient. 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 all ingredients together and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Strain out the ice and serve. Add a maraschino or lemon twist to garnish.
