How To
How to make the best Manhattan cocktail
A Manhattan is one the most iconic cocktails in the entire world. It was first described by Harry Craddock in his book "The Savoy Bar Book", published in 1930. Mix equal quantities of sweet vermouth and dry vermouth with rye whiskey. Add ice cubes. Some people add bitters, orange juice, maraschino cherry, or even Angostura Bitters. Many variations of the Manhattan recipe exist, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail, made with four ingredients. It is served straight up in chilled glasses. 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. Bartenders and drinkers continue to love the original recipe.
Some prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. Both can be equally effective. Equal amounts of each ingredient should be used when you prepare a Manhattan. Take two shots each of rye, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, and sweet vermouth. You will need eight shots of the gin. Mix all ingredients together and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Strain out the ice and serve. Serve with a maraschino Cherry or a twist from lemon peel.
