How To
How To Make The Best Manhattan Cocktail
One of the most famous cocktails is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock wrote the first description of it 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 or orange juice, maraschino cherries, or Angostura Bitters. Many variations of the Manhattan recipe exist, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail that's made with four ingredients. It's served 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. Bartenders and drinkers still love the original recipe.
Some prefer to make bourbon, others prefer to make rye. Both can be equally effective. You should use equal amounts of each ingredient in a Manhattan. Two shots of rye, two of sweet vermouth and four of dry vermouth are enough to make a Manhattan. Eight shots of Gin is sufficient. Mix them together and let rest for 15 minutes. Strain out the ice and serve. Add a maraschino or lemon twist to garnish.
