How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
One of the most famous cocktails is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock first described it in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (1930). Mix equal quantities of sweet vermouth and dry vermouth with rye whiskey. Add ice cubes. Some people add bitters and orange juice to the cocktail. The Manhattan recipe is available in many variations, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail that's made with four ingredients. It's served in a chilled glass. 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 still love the original recipe.
Some prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. However, both work equally well. Make sure to use equal amounts of each ingredient when making Manhattans. For example, two shots of rye, two shots of sweet vermouth, four shots of dry vermouth, and eight shots of gin. Mix them all together, and let it sit for 15 mins. Strain the ice and enjoy. Garnish the glass with a maraschino cherry and a twist of lemon zest.
