"Manhattan"의 정의 및 의미

What is "Manhattan"?

Manhattan is a classic cocktail that is believed to have originated in New York City in the late 19th century. The drink is made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters, which are stirred together with ice and then strained into a chilled cocktail glass. The cocktail is typically garnished with a maraschino cherry or a twist of orange peel. Manhattan is known for its smooth and sophisticated taste, with the whiskey providing a rich and smoky flavor and the sweet vermouth adding a touch of sweetness. The bitters add a depth of flavor and complexity to the cocktail. Manhattan can be customized with various types of whiskey, such as rye or bourbon, and it can also be made with dry vermouth instead of sweet vermouth for a drier and more herbaceous flavor. It is a popular cocktail that is often enjoyed as an after-dinner drink or as a refined and elegant cocktail at a social gathering.
