How to make Manhattan cocktail? The Original recipes are Rye Whiskey, Italian Sweet vermouth and Dashes of Bitters. In the beginning Manhattan recipe started with only sweet Vermouth But Bartenders are smart, They also started to prepare  the Manhattan  palatable for everyone  with different recipes such as difference version of Manhattan (Sweet Manhattan, Dry Manhattan and Perfect Manhattan). 

Manhattan Cocktail ingredient can be replace with Bourbon Whiskey which can add more mellow honeyed characteristic to the cocktail even more palatable for me. I prefer to add dash of orange bitter on it. Because orange bitter is very essential ingredient specially for Best Manhattan Recipe. It has such powerful quality that small changes can have huge impact of resulting taste of drink. I would say, without orange bitter, Manhattan cocktails ingredients not yet fulfill.

There are many recipes created with different whiskey such as Japanese Whisky, Canadian Whiskey, Scotch Whisky and different vermouth giving different name but technically everything looks same that's why Manhattan is widely known as the master recipe of cocktail.

For the Sweet Manhattan, I would like to encourage you just follow the Original recipe is the best and Dry Manhattan, you can just replace the vermouth with dry vermouth. rest of everything are same recipes. if you like to try with different base of whiskies, you are always welcome with your preferences.
