FAQ's
What's the origin of the Manhattan Sweet cocktail?
The Manhattan Sweet is a variation of the classic Manhattan cocktail, believed to have been created in the late 19th century at the Manhattan Club in New York City. The traditional Manhattan cocktail's sweet version uses sweet (red) vermouth in place of dry vermouth, catering to those preferring a sweeter profile.
What is the recommended technique for preparing a Manhattan Sweet?
The ideal preparation technique for a Manhattan Sweet involves chilling a cocktail glass, then stirring the bourbon, red vermouth, and a dash of Angostura Bitters with ice in a mixing glass. Strain the mixture into the chilled cocktail glass. Unlike a Martini, it’s stirred to preserve the silky texture of the vermouth.
How should you garnish a Manhattan Sweet?
A Manhattan Sweet is traditionally garnished with a maraschino cherry. For an added twist, a small twist of orange peel can also be used to accentuate the drink's citrus notes.
Can you substitute bourbon in a Manhattan Sweet? If so, with what?
Yes, you can substitute bourbon in a Manhattan Sweet, typically with rye whiskey. Rye whiskey will give the cocktail a spicier, more robust flavor compared to bourbon's sweetness and smoothness.
What is the best way to serve a Manhattan Sweet?
A Manhattan Sweet is best served in a chilled cocktail glass. To enhance the experience, make sure the glass is pre-chilled in the freezer for a few minutes before serving. This cocktail benefits from being served cold to elevate its flavors and provide a crisp taste.
