How to make the best Manhattan cocktail

A Manhattan is one of the most famous cocktails in the world. Harry Craddock first described 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. Some people add bitters or orange juice, maraschino cherries, or Angostura Bitters. There are many variations on the Manhattan recipe.

Manhattan is a classic cocktail, made with four ingredients. It is served straight up in chilled glasses. 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. The original recipe is still very popular with bartenders as well as drinkers today.

Some prefer to make bourbon, others prefer to make rye. Both are equally good. 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 them together and let rest for 15 minutes. Strain out the ice and serve. Garnish with a maraschino cherry or a twist of lemon peel.
