How To
How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
One of the most famous cocktails is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock introduced it to the world 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. You can add bitters, orange juice or maraschino cherry to this cocktail, or Angostura Bitters. The Manhattan recipe is available in many variations, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail consisting of four ingredients. It is 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 bourbon to rye and others prefer to drink brandy. 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 the mixture and serve. Add a maraschino or lemon twist to garnish.
