You can dilute the flavor of your drink by adding too many ingredients. This will cause some of the original flavors to disappear.
Why do people sometimes call a cocktail "a martini"?
In the early 1900s, Americans drank more alcohol and called all drinks containing alcohol "martini" in the early 1900s. The term eventually became associated with a specific type of martini - one made with dry vermouth instead of sweet vermouth.
What type of ice do bartenders add to drinks?
The type of drink being mixed by bartenders will determine the type of ice they use. Cubed ice is best for most drinks; crushed ice works well for shakes, and other non-carbonated drinks.
How can I tell whether a drink is too strong?
A stronger drink contains more alcohol than a weaker one. Proof is a measure of how much alcohol is in a drink. One proof is one part alcohol for every 100g of grain alcohol volume. So a 12 oz. A bottle of wine would need to be 10 proofs while a 16 oz. bottle would require 16. Beer would be 13 proofs and 40 oz. 45 proofs would be required for a bottle of Scotch.

How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
One of the most well-known cocktails in the world is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock introduced it to the world in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (1930). 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. 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. The original recipe is still very popular with bartenders as well as drinkers today.
Some prefer to make bourbon, others prefer to make rye. Both can be used equally. When preparing a Manhattan, use equal parts of each ingredient. 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 all ingredients together and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Strain the ice and enjoy. Serve with a maraschino Cherry or a twist from lemon peel.
