How to make Manhattan Cocktails that are truly exceptional
The Manhattan is the most popular cocktail in the world. Harry Craddock described the Manhattan in his 1930 book, "The Savoy Bar Book". In this cocktail, equal amounts of sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, gin, and rye whiskey are mixed together 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 that's made with four ingredients. It's served in a chilled glass. The Four Deuces cocktail was first created in the 19th century. It consisted of two measures whisky, two measurements of rye and two measures gin. Bartenders and drinkers continue to love the original recipe.
Some people prefer to use bourbon instead of rye, while others prefer to use brandy. However, both work equally well. When preparing a Manhattan, use equal parts of each ingredient. For example, two shots of rye, two shots of sweet vermouth, four shots of dry vermouth, and eight shots of gin. Mix them all together and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain the ice and enjoy. Add a maraschino or lemon twist to garnish.
