How to make the best Manhattan cocktail
One of the most famous cocktails is the Manhattan. Harry Craddock wrote the first description of it in his book, "The Savoy Bar Book", (1930). This cocktail consists of equal amounts sweet vermouth, dry Vermouth, and rye whiskey mixed with ice cubes. You can add bitters, orange juice or maraschino cherry to this cocktail, or Angostura Bitters. Many variations of the Manhattan recipe exist, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail consisting of four ingredients. It is served in a chilled glass. It's origins can be traced back to the 19th-century when it was known by the Four Deuces. This is because it had two measures whiskey, two measures rye, two measures vodka, and two measure of 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. Take two shots each of rye, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, and sweet vermouth. You will need eight shots of the gin. Mix them all together and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain the mixture, and then serve. Serve with a maraschino cherry, or a twist lemon peel.
