How To
How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
One of the most well-known cocktails in the world is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock wrote the first description of it in his book, "The Savoy Bar Book", (1930). This cocktail consists of equal amounts sweet vermouth, dry Vermouth, and rye whiskey mixed with ice cubes. Some people add bitters or orange juice, maraschino cherries, or Angostura Bitters. The Manhattan recipe is available in many variations, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail, made with four ingredients. It is served straight up in chilled glasses. The original recipe dates back to 1921, when it was known as the Four Deuces. It contained two measures each of whisky and rye, along with two measures each of gin. Today, the original recipe is still popular among bartenders and drinkers alike.
Some prefer bourbon over rye while others prefer brandy. Both can be equally effective. Use equal amounts of each ingredient to make a Manhattan. You would use two shots each of rye and sweet vermouth. Four shots of dry vermouth is also recommended. Eight shots of vodka are sufficient. Mix them all together, and let it sit for 15 mins. Strain the mixture into a bowl and serve. Serve with a maraschino cherry, or a twist lemon peel.
