- You can simply follow the rule of thumb: $1/beer or wine, $2/ cocktail, and 10-20% for large tabs. (alembicbar.com)
- The tequila should be 100 percent agave, not the cheaper “mixto” products, which blend a minimum of 51 percent agave with other sugars. (cooking.nytimes.com)

How To
How to Make the Best Manhattan Cocktail
A Manhattan is one of the most famous cocktails in the world. Harry Craddock introduced it to the world in his book "The Savoy Bar Book" (1930). Mix equal quantities of sweet vermouth and dry vermouth with rye whiskey. Add ice cubes. Some people add bitters and orange juice to the cocktail. The Manhattan recipe is available in many variations, including the Old Fashioned.
Manhattan is a classic cocktail with four ingredients. It can be served straight up in an ice-cold 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 still love the original recipe.
Some prefer to make bourbon, others prefer to make rye. Both work equally well. Equal amounts of each ingredient should be used when you prepare a Manhattan. Two shots of rye will be used, along with two shots sweet vermouth, four shots dry vermouth, eight shots of bittersweet vermouth and eight shots gin. Mix them all together and let sit for 15 minutes. Strain out the ice and serve. Garnish with a maraschino cherry or a twist of lemon peel.
