How to make a Perfect Manhattan cocktail
…..as perfected by Neil, the bar manager at the Globe Bar in the Moran Hotel Chiswick, West London.
A Manhattan provides an antidote to all sorts of problems beyond your control (i.e. your long-awaited weekend away being trumped by a sky full of volcanic ash). Luckily Neil recognised these kind of blues and swept over this perfect cocktail to my table.
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice add 2 oz. Maker’s Mark Bourbon, 1/2 oz. French Vermouth, 1/2 oz. Italian Vermouth, and a dash of Angostura bitter. Stir (do not shake!), and serve in a chilled martini glass with a maraschino cherry.
