Perhaps the most iconic cocktail inspired by the famed New York borough, the Manhattan is thought to have originated in the late 1800s at the Manhattan Club in New York City. This fairly straightforward concoction, which is typically served before dinner, has been referred to as “one of six basic drinks” by David A. Embury in his book, The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks.
To make your own Manhattan, mix two dashes of angostura bitters with one ounce sweet vermouth and two and a half ounces bourbon. Although the drink can be served over ice, for a traditional bent, stir the mixture over ice before straining it into a chilled glass. Complete your Manhattan with a single maraschino cherry, and enjoy.
