Classic Manhattan

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Drinks
The Queen of Cocktails, an 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 it should never be shaken, ensuring it remains crystal clear and silky.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Mixing Glass: For chilling.
  • Bar Spoon: For stirring.
  • Chilled Coupe: For serving.

Instructions

1 ✓

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

Tip: A chilled glass ensures the last sip is as cold as the first.
2 ✓

Fill a mixing glass halfway with ice.

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

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

Tip: Bitters are the 'salt and pepper' of cocktails, binding the flavors together.
4 ✓

Stir gently for 20-30 seconds.

Tip: Stir until the outside of the glass feels very cold. This achieves cooling with minimal dilution.
5 ✓

Strain into the chilled glass (discarding the ice in the glass).

Tip: Use a strainer to keep ice shards out.
6 ✓

Garnish with a cherry. Twist the orange peel over the drink to release oils, then drop it in.

Tip: Aroma accounts for half of the taste experience.

Recipe FAQ

Why not shake it?
Shaking introduces air bubbles and breaks the ice, making the drink cloudy and watery. A Manhattan should be silky and heavy on the tongue.

Ingredients

  • 2 oz Rye Whiskey or Bourbon
