__________________________
Like many classic cocktails, the Manhattan's history is a bit unsure. Popular history suggests that the cocktail was invented at the Manhattan Club in New York around the 1870's.
This is one of the most popular cocktails on the plate, and a must-know for any whiskey fans! In this video, I talk about how to make and master the classic version of the Manhattan, but I also show you how to make the less-known Perfect Manhattan.
While the classic Manhattan leans towards a sweet-tasting cocktail, the perfect manhattan attempts to be more balanced with dry notes added to it through vermouth and lemon zest.
One important note on making the Manhattan is to take note on the type of vermouth you are using in your cocktail. In order to not overpower any flavor in the drink, if you have strong tasting vermouth try pairing it with an over-proofed whiskey (100 proof or higher). This goes for lighter tasting vermouths as well, it would be best to pair them with a lighter proof whiskey around 70-80 proof.
feel free to experiment with different whiskeys, ratios, and bitters to master your favorite version of a classic!

The Manhattan, an interesting classic. The first time I tried one I wasn't a fan, but they have grown on me.

I agree, was a little sweet to me, I tend to pour a little heavier on the whiskey for myself now!

I was at a bar recently and a patron ordered a ‘perfect old fashioned.’ I thought perhaps he knew something I didn’t but it turned out he had no idea what he was ordering. 😂

Is a perfect Manhattan not one that splits vermouth with amaro?

Legally, if it's under 80 proof, is it still whiskey?

As Chief Ten Bears said to the Outlaw Josey Wales, "There is truth in your words of Vermouth". So how do you justify using that nasty Gallo dry vermouth? You have to take a Manhattan seriously, because ... nuance... absolutely. I like exploring all the variations, but my go-to mix is 1 oz Rye (Jack Daniels), 1 oz Bourbon (Jack Daniels or Larceny), half oz red vermouth (Mi& Rossi), half oz extra dry white (Mi & Rossi) and Angostura Orange bitters, garnish with BadaBing Cherry. For me, these brands are affordable standards that work extremely will in the mix. Put the BadaBing cherries in the glasses (because I know I will drink more than one) and put them in the freezer about an hour beforehand. My oh my... I could knock back those Perfect Manhattan's all day.

Not to be disrespectful but why do you stir it like that? Looks like a lot of strain to your wrist when you can just grip it straight with your wrist straight.

It was really the set up of the bar where I learned, I could reach down and do other tasks while stirring this way.. and I just kind of kept the habit. I don't even think about it at this point! lol
