How to make the best Manhattan cocktail
The Manhattan is the most popular cocktail in the world. Harry Craddock described the Manhattan in his 1930 book, "The Savoy Bar Book". 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. There are many variations to the Manhattan recipe, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail made from four ingredients and served straight up 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. 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 are equally good. You should use equal amounts of each ingredient in a Manhattan. For example, two shots of rye, two shots of sweet vermouth, four shots of dry vermouth, and eight shots of gin. Mix them all together, and let it sit for 15 mins. Strain out the ice and serve. Add a maraschino or lemon twist to garnish.
