"Dry" means that this cocktail is made with Dry Vermouth or a smaller amount of Sweet Vermouth.
"Perfect" means that this drink is made with equal parts of Dry and Sweet Vermouth.
"Sweet" means that this cocktail is made with a little extra Sweet Vermouth.
"Naked" means that the drink is made with no Vermouth at all. Check out this recipe and others to build your recipe repertoire.
How to make a Manhattan Cocktail
| Start with a cocktail shaker and fill it with ice. Add 2 oz of Whiskey. Add 1/2 oz of Sweet Vermouth (you can vary this according to your preference - use the notes above as a guide). Add 2-4 dashes of Bitters according to your liking. Stir and strain into a chilled cocktail glass or pour the drink, ice and all, into a old fashioned glass and serve it on the rocks. Garish with a single Maraschino Cherry for a finishing touch.
