How To
How To Make The Best Manhattan Cocktail
The Manhattan is the most popular cocktail in the world. Harry Craddock first described it in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (1930). 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. There are many variations on the Manhattan recipe.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail, made with four ingredients. It is served straight up in chilled glasses. Its origins go back to the 19th Century when it was called The Four Deuces. That is because it contained two ounces of whisky, two ounces of rye and two ounces of gin. Bartenders and drinkers continue to love the original recipe.
Some prefer to make bourbon, others prefer to make rye. Both can be equally effective. Use equal amounts of each ingredient to make 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 it sit for 15 mins. Strain out the ice and serve. Add a maraschino or lemon twist to garnish.
