Friday Cocktail Hour: The Manhattan

Published: Apr 27, 2012 · Modified: Apr 10, 2020 by Michael Ruhlman · 153 Comments

This is an old-fashioned Manhattan. With jarred maraschino cherries like my uncle Jon loved. But make a good one. With Fabbri cherries and good rye. Straight up. The skewer holding the cherries is an emblem of my childhood. Photo by Donna Turner Ruhlman

I’m old-fashioned, I admit, and this is another Friday cocktail post devoted to classic cocktails. It’s not because I’m nostalgic (though I am). It’s because classics are classics for a reason: they’re good. There’s a reason you don’t have a Swanson’s TV dinner in your freezer but will never tire of a well-made Martini. My dad was a Martini man. He was also an Ad Man (who actually looked a lot like Don Draper), a creative director at a Cleveland ad firm where I interned the summer after my freshman year of college. He was a gin drinker. I still remember my first revulsion at gin. I asked him what he had in that plastic cup of his. He told me it was a Martini. Go ahead, he said, taste it. I did. How on earth could he drink that stuff? I thought. Tasted like the worst medicine you could invent. He chuckled, had another sip, the light turned green, and we headed up Cedar Road toward Fairmount in the new 1972 convertible Ford Mustang.

His brother Jon, eleven years his senior (my dad was a “gift” to his 39-year-old mother, both of them born on FSF’s birthday, I’m happy to note—thanks, Rose and Mike! Glad you didn’t take precautions!), Jon was a Manhattan man. But like my father’s martinis, Jon’s Manhattans were made with the cheap stuff and always on the rocks. I’m pretty sure it was a practical decision. They simply drank too many of them to make it practical to serve them straight up in a chilled glass. Jon would have wavered his hands around his ears and called that kind of drink something for fairies. That was his generation.

He was a big, bellicose man, CEO of an engineering company, a sailor who loved to race, brilliant, difficult, and fiercely loyal to and proud of his family. I never went in for the sweetness of the Manhattan when I began to have actual cocktails. I loved the austerity of my father’s gin Martini.

So it was my dear Uncle Bill, Jon and Rip’s Uncle Bill, actually, Rose’s brother, the man who taught me the supreme value of a potato, quoted in The Making of a Chef, the man who guided my literary leanings and showed me by example what a genuine intellectual was made of, it was he who made me my first Manhattan, at his home in Santa Barbara. Donna and I had arrived terribly hung over after a late, late wedding celebration south of Los Angeles, and that Manhattan was nectar from the gods.

The Manhattan is indeed a superlative drink when made properly. I ordered one earlier in the week at Nighttown, a Cleveland Heights, walking-distance bar that features some of the best jazz in the country. The bartendress made it with Bulleits. I didn’t ask about the vermouth. The person I was meeting asked have you had the Manhattan at Velvet Tango? No? Then you haven’t had the best Manhattan.

I bought a new vermouth, just to try, pictured above (I didn’t have time to drive out to Solon for the preferred Vya vermouth, sorry Paulius). He, Paulius, owner of the VTR, also recommended Amarena Fabbri cherries. The only place he knew to get them in Cleveland was Gallucci’s, but they were out! So we had to go with the crappy ones that are better on ice cream. Here they are made palatable by the lovely metal skewer that belonged to my father and was part of that whole sixties cocktail. I love it. I was able to buy the most important ingredient though, Old Overholt rye whiskey (Jon drank VO, most of his 74 years). And given the cherries, I’m going with the good, if ubiquitous, Angostura bitters.

I’m in Manhattan now, so a Manhattan it is, and I raise it to you, Jon and Bill, with great lasting memories and thanks.

The Perfect Manhattan

Print Recipe
Prep Time 3 mins
Course Cocktail
Cuisine American
Servings 1

Ingredients
  

  • 60 grams rye whisky (preferably Overholt) or a good bourbon (2 ounces)
  • 30 grams sweet vermouth (preferably Vya)
  • 5 sturdy shakes Angostura bitters (2 grams or so)
  • 1-3 Amerena cherries (or those candy-like ones in the sundae aisle of your grocery store)

Instructions
 

  • In a 2-cup measuring glass, combine the whiskey, vermouth, and bitters.
  • Fill the measuring glass with ice and stir more or less continuously for 90 seconds (I hate the shaken drinks with all the shattered ice floating in them).  It’s fine to pause while you retrieve your glass from the freezer.
  • When the ice and alcohol have commingled for the appropriate time—you want about 30 to 40 grams of water to melt into the Manhattan—garnish it with the cherries.

    I'm loving your classic cocktails - favorites of mine too. Cocktails are a great subject for you, too, because they're all about ratios.

    Not to be pedantic, but "Perfect" in a Manhattan — or any cocktail — means equal parts of sweet vermouth & dry vermouth. So the recipe for a "Perfect" Manhattan is 60 grams of rye, 15 grams of sweet vermouth, 15 grams of dry vermouth. Oh, and the bitters of course.

    But I do agree with the sentiment — a "perfect" Manhattan is made with rye, and usually n a 2:1 ratio of rye to vermouth. And bitters aren't optional. The cherry garnish is. Enjoyed the post — thanks.

        A cocktail recipe book by Salvatore Calabrese called Home Bartender's Guide has the "Perfect" Manhattan. Equal parts dry and sweet vermouth. Very nice.

        What do you think of Jim Beam rye? I tend to get it for mixing.

And the other is "The Craft of the Cocktail" by Dale DeGroff, who is regarded by MANY people as one of the most influential bartenders in the world. Both of them have a recipe for the Manhattan, and both of them have a note about a a Manhattan made with both sweet and dry vermouth being called a "perfect" Manhattan.

    "Fill the measuring glass with ice and stir more or less continuously for 90 seconds (I hate the shaken drinks with all the shattered ice floating in them)."

    So do I, but when making a mixed drink with fruit juices, sugar, syrups, etc., shaking is necessary. The answer is to double strain; place a fine-mesh strainer on the glass, and pour from the shaker using a julep strainer. The results are smoooooooooth.....

    My wife's drink of choice, and one of my favorites as well. We like to garnish with a lemon peel instead of the maraschino cherries, which usually end up forgotten in our fridge. Luxardo maraschino cherries are also fantastic.

    Manhattans were (and are) always my Dad's drink of choice. His were always Canadian with cheap vermouth and day glow cherries. I make mine with 2 parts Bulliet Rye, 1 Part Dolin Rouge, a good 3 dashes of Fee Bros. Old Fashioned Bitters and home made Maraschino cherries (pitted black cherries quickly brined to crisp, then mascerated for a while in a mix of equal parts Luxardo Maraschino and vodka - sometimes with some vanila bean thrown in for good measure)

    I love the shattered ice in the proper cocktail, like an Aviation.

    I like my Manhattan more like 3:1, with Bulleit Rye and Angostura or occasionally Regan's Orange bitters and home-preserved cherries.

    The bigger question: do you eat the cherries? Some purists say you never eat the garnish, but I didn't survive a Southern Baptist upbringing to throw away cherries soaked in whiskey.

      A hint for anyone looking for Templeton. When you're driving through Iowa stop at any small town convience store a pick up a few bottles. Don't look for it in larger towns, though.

      The waiting list for TR at the local shop in Ames is 18 months or more, but I can drive 45 minutes away and find a half dozen bottles on the shelf at a small town Casey's.

    I need a good cherry for the Manhattan and an orange peel at least, sometimes a slice for garnish.
    I've tried the syrupy Amarena Italian cherries and find them just that - pricey syrupy candy, a little strange for a cocktail, good minced with a hearty blue cheeze on a cracker but not so good in a drink.
    Much better are the Tipsy cherries soaked in whiskey. They're big and meaty with the stem attached. Stem is a must, lots of fun when you can learn to tie them in a knot to impress your mate. Takes a bit of practice but simple once you learn the technique of making a circle and inserting the knob end of the stem with your tongue, bite one end of the stem and pull out a knot. Guaranteed for some hot action that night!

    You can also make a much superior cherry with your own fresh tart cherries in season and a bottle of Luxardo cherry liquor. Just fill them in a canning jar and top with Luxardo.
    I like to add a bit of cinnamon, vanilla bean and clove, let them sit for a month and they're better than any store bought, last forever and they go great minced in a pork roullade or any pork dish. The juice makes an interesting Aviation cocktail in place of regular Luxardo.
    I have tried a lot of bourbons, Makers being my fav, but never tried Rye. I'll seek it out. I'm always looking to improve, but some things can't get much better,
    I have yet to find one better than the Makers, Angostura good cherry, orange peel and good vermouth(Punt E Mes, Carpano, or Dolin) in an ice cold glass.
    Cheers & happy Friday to all!!!

    It's funny how people get locked into things. There's no rule that says a Manhattan must be made with Rye. Particularly within the space of a blog such as this one, it should be obvious that cocktails (drinks in general) are culinary. Ingredients should be chosen and paired thoughtfully. A sweeter Manhattan could be made with Makers Mark, and perhaps Carpano. A nice bright and flavorful one with Bulleit Rye, Dolin, and Wormwood bitters. So, just loosen up, people! Get creative. Stay out of the ruts.

    Funny, I never saw that skewer before in my life, but as soon as I saw it my mind took a trip back to all the trinkets of my forgotten childhood, like the cast-iron dog ashtray in my parents' room and my Mom's perfume bottles that I used to open and sniff when I was a much tinier man.

    Then, I read about the sip of a Martini at a red light and was again transported back to a time when gas was cheap (though not for long) and cops were not concerned with the contents of your cups.

    I love this post. Even though I won't go near a maraschino cherry - this is not a snobbery thing; it has nothing to do with the connotation of a maraschino cherry, I don't really like cooked or dried cherries either - and sometimes order things on the rocks just to avoid martini glasses... As pictured, you're fine, but some places don't seem to get it - they fill it up, and then how do you walk? To be fair, I'm not really classy enough to order mixed drinks very often, but when I do, a good Manhattan tends to be it.

    In the 70's my Dad came home from a Christmas party at his favorite bar and gave me a handful of plastic skewers, explaining that for the party, drinks were only a dollar apiece. He finished with "Your father saved a lot of money tonight !" He was a Manhattan man and I miss him.

    There's a fantastic book on cocktails called "The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks", by David Embury. Its a funny, witty, opinionated read, and the man was a true connoiseur as well as an inveterate booze hound. Written in high lawyerly prose, it is a true bible of cocktails, from 1948. Embury's ratios are on the stiff side, but they are the best I've ever tried. His Manhattan: 5 parts American whiskey, 1 part sweet vermouth, dash of Angostora bitters. Perfection.

    What you said made a lot of sense. But, think about this, what if you added a little content? I mean, I dont want to tell you how to run your blog, but what if you added something to maybe get peoples attention? Just like a video or a picture or two to get people excited about what youve got to say. In my opinion, it would make your blog come to life a little bit.

I would also like to mention that there may be situation in which you will apply for a loan and never need a co-signer such as a Government Student Support Loan. However, if you are getting a borrowing arrangement through a standard banker then you need to be made ready to have a cosigner ready to help you. The lenders will certainly base their own decision using a few components but the most important will be your credit ratings. There are some financial institutions that will in addition look at your job history and determine based on this but in many cases it will be based on on your ranking.
