The Best MANHATTAN Recipe

One of the earliest references to the Manhattan was back in 1882 and it was described as a mixture of whiskey, vermouth and bitters. Canadian whiskey was predominantly used during prohibition but it’s now common to make it with an American rye or bourbon whiskey. I recommend using something a little higher proof - 50% abv or 100 proof. The 2:1 ratio of whiskey to sweet vermouth has stood the test of time but some do like to vary the ratios, you may want to experiment. Angostura is the go to bitters but feel free to experiment here too. Like the Manhattan?
