Manhattan co*cktail Recipe (2024)

Every sip of a Manhattan co*cktail brings out the taste and flavor of the drink. It is made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and a dash of bitters. The balance and richness of the drink make it stand out. As a bartender who has made and served a lot of drinks, Manhattan is one of my favorites because of its long past and ability to bring people together. Manhattan is always a good choice, whether you’re enjoying something special or just taking it easy after a long day.

Tasting Notes

There are a lot of different tastes in the Manhattan drink. With hints of oak and toffee, the whiskey has a strong and warm base. With its herbs and sweet flavors, sweet vermouth makes the drink more interesting. Adding a layer of flavor that is a little spicy and aromatic, the bitters tie everything together. The cherry on top adds a bit of color and sweetness, making the Manhattan not only taste good but also look good.

Glassware and Equipment

You’ll need a mixing glass, a bar spoon, and a strainer to make a Manhattan. The mixing glass is for mixing the ingredients, the bar spoon is for stirring, and the sieve is for straining. A chilled martini glass is the usual way to serve a Manhattan, but you can also get it in a rocks glass if you like yours on the rocks. With these tools and glasses, you can make sure that your Manhattan is made perfectly and served in style.

Pro Tips

• If you want a smoother Manhattan, stir the drink instead of shaking it. This keeps the drink smooth and clear.
