The Bar-tender's Guide/Manhattan Cocktail

by Jerry Thomas

Manhattan Cocktail.

(Use small bar-glass.)

• Take 2 dashes of Curaçoa or Maraschino.
• Take 1 pony of rye whiskey.
• Take 1 wine-glass of vermouth.
• Take 3 dashes of Boker’s bitters.
• Take 2 small lumps of ice.

Shake up well, and strain into a claret glass. Put a quarter of a slice of lemon in the glass and serve. If the customer prefers it very sweet use also two dashes of gum syrup.
