How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
The Manhattan is the most popular cocktail in the world. It was first described by Harry Craddock in his book "The Savoy Bar Book", published in 1930. You will find equal amounts of sweet and dry vermouths, gin, and whiskey in this cocktail. Some people add bitters orange juice, maraschino Cherry, or Angostura bitters. Many variations of the Manhattan recipe exist, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail, made with four ingredients. It is served straight up in chilled glasses. 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 use bourbon rather than rye. Others prefer to use brandy. Both can be equally effective. Equal amounts of each ingredient should be used when you prepare a Manhattan. Two shots of rye will be used, along with two shots sweet vermouth, four shots dry vermouth, eight shots of bittersweet vermouth and eight shots gin. Mix them together and let rest for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture, and then serve. Garnish the glass with a maraschino cherry and a twist of lemon zest.
