How To
How to make Manhattan Cocktails that are truly exceptional
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). You will find equal amounts of sweet and dry vermouths, gin, and whiskey in this cocktail. Some people add bitters and orange juice to the cocktail. There are many variations to the Manhattan recipe, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail with four ingredients. It can be served straight up in an ice-cold glass. Its origins date back to the 19th century when it was called the Four Deuces because it contained two measures of whisky, two measures of rye, and two measures of gin. Today, the original recipe is still popular among bartenders and drinkers alike.
Some prefer bourbon to rye and others prefer to drink brandy. Both can be equally effective. You should use equal amounts of each ingredient in a Manhattan. For example, two shots of rye, two shots of sweet vermouth, four shots of dry vermouth, and eight shots of gin. Mix them together and let rest for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture and serve. Serve with a maraschino cherry, or a twist lemon peel.
