How to make Manhattan's best cocktail
The Manhattan is the most popular cocktail 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. You can add bitters, orange juice or maraschino cherry to this cocktail, or Angostura Bitters. Many variations of the Manhattan recipe exist, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail consisting of four ingredients. It is served in a chilled glass. The original recipe dates back to 1921, when it was known as the Four Deuces. It contained two measures each of whisky and rye, along with two measures each of gin. The original recipe is still very popular with bartenders as well as drinkers today.
Some people prefer to use bourbon instead of rye, while others prefer to use brandy. However, both work equally well. Make sure to use equal amounts of each ingredient when making Manhattans. 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 mixture and serve. Add a maraschino or lemon twist to garnish.
