How To Make The Best Manhattan Cocktail

One of the most well-known cocktails in the world is the Manhattan. 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. Some people add bitters or orange juice, maraschino cherries, or Angostura Bitters. The Manhattan recipe is available in many variations, including the Old Fashioned.

Manhattan is a classic cocktail that's made with four ingredients. It's 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. The original recipe is still loved by bartenders, drinkers, and even chefs.

Some prefer to make bourbon, others prefer to make rye. Both are equally good. Use equal amounts of each ingredient to make 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 then serve. Serve with a maraschino cherry, or a twist lemon peel.
