Title:
Manhattan
Description:
The Manhattan is pound for pound my favorite cocktail of all time. It is simple, yet still subtle and complex, endlessly satisfying, plus, it’s made with whiskey.
Many traditional recipes call for 2 parts whiskey to 1 part vermouth, but I like mine a little more whiskey forward so I go with the ratios listed below. But, feel free to customize to your taste.
Regarding which whiskey and vermouth to pair together, I leave that adventure to you. I’ve experienced many different outcomes but have I’ve never encountered a combination that disappointed me, which is another reason I love this cocktail so much. Regardless of how the journey changes, the destination is always reliably satisfying.
Recipe
2 ½ oz rye whiskey - or bourbon
1 oz sweet vermouth - ¾ oz for bourbon
2 dashes Angostura Bitters
Combine all ingredients in a chilled mixing glass. Fill with ice, stir for 18-25 seconds. Then strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass. Garnish with a cherry, if you have one.
A Manhattan is also mighty fine served on the rocks.
