Ah, the Manhattan. Its name evokes images of polished suits clinking glasses in smoky jazz bars, a drink as timeless and sophisticated as the city it's named after. But this iconic cocktail boasts a history as colorful and complex as its flavor profile. So, grab your shaker, settle in, and let's raise a glass to a drink that's been tantalizing taste buds for over a century!
There are whispers of the Manhattan emerging in the 1860s, possibly concocted by a bartender named "Black" at a New York bar. Others claim it was an "invention of necessity," born from the blending of whiskey and sweet vermouth during a liquor shortage. Whatever its origin story, the Manhattan quickly gained popularity, becoming a staple in fancy New York establishments and beyond.
Now, the fun part: the ingredients! This classic cocktail is all about balance. Imagine a tango between the bold rye whiskey and the sweet Italian vermouth, waltzing to the rhythm of aromatic bitters and finishing with a flourish of a maraschino cherry. Here's what you'll need:
Ingredients:
2 oz Rye Whiskey
1 oz Sweet Vermouth
2 dashes Angostura bitters
Maraschino cherry (for garnish)
Instructions:
Combine the rye whiskey, vermouth, and bitters in a mixing glass filled with ice.
Stir for 30 seconds, until chilled and diluted.
Strain into a chilled coupe glass.
Garnish with a maraschino cherry (optional, but hey, tradition is tradition!).
There you have it! The Manhattan, a cocktail with a dash of mystery, a sprinkle of sophistication, and a whole lot of deliciousness. So, raise a glass to history, to good company, and to the spirit of exploration that brought this timeless drink to our lips. Just remember, while sipping on your masterpiece, somewhere, a mischievous bartender named Black (or maybe someone else) is smiling, knowing they cracked the code to a legend. Cheers!
