How to make Manhattan Cocktails that are truly exceptional
The Manhattan is the most popular cocktail in the world. Harry Craddock introduced it to the world in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (1930). In this cocktail, equal amounts of sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, gin, and rye whiskey are mixed together with ice cubes. Some people add bitters orange juice, maraschino Cherry, or Angostura bitters. There are many variations on the Manhattan recipe.
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. Bartenders and drinkers continue to love the original recipe.
Some prefer bourbon over rye while others prefer brandy. Both work equally well. You should use equal amounts of each ingredient in a Manhattan. Two shots of rye, two of sweet vermouth and four of dry vermouth are enough to make a Manhattan. Eight shots of Gin is sufficient. Let them sit for fifteen minutes before mixing. Strain the mixture and serve. Serve with a maraschino cherry, or a twist lemon peel.
