How to make the best Manhattan cocktail
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). The cocktail is made up of equal amounts of sweet, dry, and rye whisky. It's mixed with ice cubes. You can add bitters, orange juice or maraschino cherry to this cocktail, or Angostura Bitters. There are many variations to the Manhattan recipe, 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. Bartenders and drinkers continue to love the original recipe.
Some prefer to make bourbon, others prefer to make rye. Both work equally well. Make sure to use equal amounts of each ingredient when making Manhattans. 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. Mix all ingredients together and leave to sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture and serve. Add a maraschino or lemon twist to garnish.
