The Manhattan is a sophisticated stirred cocktail that dates back to the 1870s, reputedly invented at the Manhattan Club in New York City. The combination of rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and aromatic bitters creates a beautifully balanced drink that is both bold and elegant. It is the benchmark against which all stirred cocktails are measured.
