Despite recent conservation efforts in the U.S., water consumption is still high at 355 million gallons per hour.

How To
How to make Manhattan Cocktails that are truly exceptional
A Manhattan is one of the most famous cocktails in the world. Harry Craddock described the Manhattan in his 1930 book, "The Savoy Bar Book". Mix equal quantities of sweet vermouth and dry vermouth with rye whiskey. Add 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 with four ingredients. It is served straight up in chilled glasses. 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 continue to love the original recipe.
Some prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. Both work equally well. 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 sit for 15 minutes. Strain the ice and enjoy. Garnish the glass with a maraschino cherry and a twist of lemon zest.
