Manhattan

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The Manhattan is the 'queen' of cocktails, the elegant meeting of whiskey and vermouth. Legend has it that it was invented for Winston Churchill's mother in New York. This is a 'stirred' cocktail, meaning we never shake it, to keep it clear and translucent.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Mixing glass: For cooling the drink.
  • Bar spoon: For stirring.
  • Chilled glass: For serving.

Instructions

1 ✓

Chill the cocktail glass (fill with ice or place in the freezer).

Tip: A cold glass ensures that even the last sip remains cold.
2 ✓

Fill a mixing glass halfway with ice.

Tip: Use large, fresh ice cubes that melt more slowly.
3 ✓

Pour the whiskey, vermouth, and bitters over the ice.

Tip: Bitters are the 'salt and pepper' of the cocktail, binding the flavours.
4 ✓

Stir gently in circular motions for 20-30 seconds.

Tip: The goal is a balance of cooling and dilution. If the side of the mixing glass frosts over, you're good.
5 ✓

Strain the drink into the chilled glass (without ice).

Tip: Use a strainer to prevent ice shards from getting into the drink.
6 ✓

Garnish with a cherry, and squeeze the orange zest over the glass to spray the essential oils, then drop it in.

Tip: Scent is half the taste experience.

Recipe FAQ

Why shouldn't you shake it?
Shaking introduces air into the drink (making it bubbly) and breaks the ice, resulting in an overly watery drink. The essence of the Manhattan is its silky texture.

Ingredients

  • 60 ml Rye whiskey or Bourbon
