How to make the best Manhattan cocktail
A Manhattan is one of the most famous cocktails in the world. Harry Craddock first described it in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (1930). The cocktail is made up of equal amounts of sweet, dry, and rye whisky. It's mixed with ice cubes. Some people add bitters orange juice, maraschino Cherry, or Angostura bitters. The Manhattan recipe has many variations, such as the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail with four ingredients. It can be served straight up in an ice-cold 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 prefer to use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. However, both work equally well. You should use equal amounts of each ingredient in a Manhattan. Take two shots each of rye, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, and sweet vermouth. You will need eight shots of the gin. Let them sit for fifteen minutes before mixing. Strain the ice and enjoy. Serve with a maraschino Cherry or a twist from lemon peel.
