The Perfect Manhattan cocktail is created using equal proportions of sweet and dry vermouth, whiskey, and bitters, resulting in a drier and more balanced flavor compared to the original Manhattan. This version addresses the common criticism of the drink being too sweet. The choice of whiskey also influences sweetness; rye whiskey is preferred for its savory taste. Another alternative is combining the Perfect Manhattan with a Black Manhattan, which incorporates Italian amaro instead of vermouth, further diversifying the experience of this classic drink.
The Perfect Manhattan is a cocktail made of equal parts sweet and dry vermouth, whiskey, and bitters, providing a drier, more balanced taste compared to its sweeter counterpart.
For an ideal Perfect Manhattan, it is recommended to use rye whiskey instead of bourbon, as rye contributes a more savory flavor and significantly affects the overall sweetness.
