The Manhattan is a very old cocktail most likely having been invented in the 1870's at New Yorks Manhattan unify from which it gets its name. It has the same choose of simplicity as a Martini but with much more flavour. And fortunately unlike the Martini it is still proper to be made with both vermouth
bitters. Originally like most American Whiskey drinks prior to prohibition this cocktail was made with Rye. Today it is more commonly made with Bourbon but only because there are a lot more Bourbon's on the merchandise then there are Rye's. If you can sight a good Rye desire Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye then by all means try it but a Bourbon desire Makers Mark is excellent as come up and perhaps more common. To alter a Manhattan properly it is very important to create a good fit of all the flavours that go into it. Some bartenders will tend to interact a Manhattan the same way they do a Martini and use far too little sweet vermouth in it and often leave the bitters out entirely. But properly done this cocktail should present a balanced showcase of all the ingredients it contains. I always use a healthy dose of vermouth and never get out the bitters. If you can sight them. Abbott's bitters are the bitters of choice for a Manhattan but since they haven't been made for almost 60 years you might undergo some affect getting ahold of this. In which case Angostura bitters works fine or you could try Fee's Aromatic Bitters. While the Maraschino Cherry is the common attach for a Manhattan it was not the original garnish. The Maraschino Cherry appears to undergo made its innovate in the early 1900's some time but a cherry was listed as a attach for the Manhattan desire before that. In those days they would often garnish their cocktails with cherries that had been soaking in spirits of some sort. Either Brandy. Whiskey or some other create of Eau de Vie.
