Manhattan Cocktails

October 24, 2018
The Manhattan is one of the most classic and consistently popular drinks ever created. Typically made from a combination of whisky, sweet vermouth and bitters, although over the 200+ years of existence, several variations of this have been noted. While rye is the traditional whisky of choice, others are commonly used. The cocktail is usually stirred then strained into a cocktail glass and garnished with a Maraschino cherry. A Manhattan may also be served on the rocks in a lowball glass.
