Manhattan Cocktail - Classic, Elegant & Homemade
A perfectly mixed Manhattan cocktail is the epitome of timeless elegance for a cozy evening. As a little 'cooking cat', I especially love this drink because it is wonderfully uncomplicated yet convincing in its depth. The Manhattan impresses with a fine balance of spicy whiskey and aromatic sweet vermouth – a combination that has delighted cocktail lovers for over a hundred years. To enjoy this drink at home in bar quality, we avoid artificial additives and instead use high-quality, fresh ingredients. It's child's play: a few ice cubes, a gentle stir, and you're holding a glass of pure lifestyle in your paws. This cocktail is the ideal choice when you want to relax after a long day or impress guests with a sophisticated, yet quick-to-make classic. Grab your mixing glass and let's prepare this legendary drink together – meow, it's going to be delicious!
Ingredients
Preparation
First, fill the mixing glass with ice cubes (200 g) so that it gets nice and cold.
Pour the Rye Whiskey (60 ml) and the sweet red vermouth (30 ml) into the glass.
Now add the Angostura bitters (2 dashes) carefully – just two dashes, meow, that's enough for the full aroma!
Stir everything gently for about 30 seconds with a long spoon; do not shake it so the drink remains crystal clear.
Strain the contents through a bar strainer into a pre-chilled glass.
For the crowning touch, let the cocktail cherry (1) slide into the drink.
