How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
One of the most well-known cocktails in the world is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock described the Manhattan in his 1930 book, "The Savoy Bar Book". This cocktail consists of equal amounts sweet vermouth, dry Vermouth, and rye whiskey mixed with ice cubes. Some people add bitters and orange juice to the cocktail. The Manhattan recipe has many variations, such as the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail, made with four ingredients. It is served straight up in chilled glasses. 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. Equal amounts of each ingredient should be used when you prepare a Manhattan. You would use two shots each of rye and sweet vermouth. Four shots of dry vermouth is also recommended. Eight shots of vodka are sufficient. Mix them together and let rest for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture and serve. Garnish with a maraschino cherry or a twist of lemon peel.
