How to make the best Manhattan cocktail
A Manhattan is one the most iconic cocktails in the entire world. Harry Craddock introduced it to the world in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (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 and orange juice to the cocktail. 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. It's origins can be traced back to the 19th-century when it was known by the Four Deuces. This is because it had two measures whiskey, two measures rye, two measures vodka, and two measure of gin. The original recipe is still very popular with bartenders as well as drinkers today.
Some prefer bourbon over rye while others prefer brandy. Both can be equally effective. When preparing a Manhattan, use equal parts of each ingredient. 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 all ingredients together and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture and serve. Serve with a maraschino Cherry or a twist from lemon peel.
