How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
The Manhattan is the most popular cocktail in the world. It was first described by Harry Craddock in his book "The Savoy Bar Book", published in 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 or orange juice, maraschino cherries, or Angostura Bitters. There are many variations on the Manhattan recipe.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail made from four ingredients and served straight up in a chilled glass. 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. Bartenders and drinkers still love the original recipe.
Some people prefer to use bourbon instead of rye, while others prefer to use brandy. Both can be used equally. Equal amounts of each ingredient should be used when you prepare 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. Let them sit for fifteen minutes before mixing. Strain out the ice and serve. Garnish with a maraschino cherry or a twist of lemon peel.
