How to make Manhattan Cocktails that are truly exceptional
One of the most well-known cocktails in the world is the Manhattan. It was first described by Harry Craddock in his book "The Savoy Bar Book", published in 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 and orange juice to the cocktail. The Manhattan recipe is available in many variations, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail made from four ingredients and served straight up 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 continue to love the original recipe.
Some people prefer to use bourbon instead of rye, while others prefer to use brandy. Both can be used equally. 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. Let them sit for fifteen minutes before mixing. Strain the mixture into a bowl and serve. Garnish the glass with a maraschino cherry and a twist of lemon zest.
