ingredients
The original recipe calls for rye whiskey, but other kinds of whiskey can be used instead. Though a bit on the sweeter side when compared to rye whiskey, a good bourbon works well in this cocktail and is a really common choice. -
shaken or stirred
The age-old question regarding the Manhattan cocktail is whether it should be shaken or stirred. Although purists claim that stirring is better and shaking it will only make it cloudy, others say that the only way to mix this cocktail properly is to shake it. -
drinkware
A Manhattan cocktail can also be served in a lowball glass or a coupe. -
garnish
A lemon or an orange peel is often used as a garnish either together with the Maraschino cherry or without it.
