Ever since cocktail trends have begun, classics are getting no importance. That’s why this Classic Manhattan Cocktail is being published. It’s just so good and everyone seems to have forgotten about it! This classic three-ingredient drink is strong, flavorful and extremely easy to make. It’s perfect for night time parties or even theme parties like The Great Gatsby. It makes a fun prop for all photos.
For the latest libation in our classic cocktail recipe, we’re showing you how to make this Classic Manhattan Cocktail. There are no added frills to the classic Manhattan since it’s over 100 years old and is still made the same way it traditionally was back in the day. Isn’t it cool to think you can sip on the same vintage cocktail recipe people did so many years ago? That’s what I love so much about these classic cocktails…they’re the inspiration and the base for so many of our artistic cocktails now. The Manhattan is similar to an old-fashioned in a lot of ways, except it has some vermouth in it and is garnished with a maraschino cherry.
So if you love classic whiskey drinks, try the Manhattan as well our other whiskey drinks on the blog! And if you want a modern twist on this classic, add your own little secret ingredients to the mix. This Classic Manhattan cocktail has a very distinct taste to it. Along with the strong flavours of whiskey, the bitters and sweet vermouth make this drink what it is. Since whiskey is strong alcohol, this drink will give you a buzz as soon as you have it. A good and bad part about this drink is that it has no chaser (well, almost) and is classic the way it is.
