1972 Trader Vic: Trader Vic’s Bartender’s Guide. Seite 162. Mai Tai.
There has been a lot of conversation over the beginning of the Mai Tai. And I want to get the record straight. I originated the Mai Tai. Many others have claimed credit. Some claim it was originated in Tahiti. All this aggravates my ulcer completely. The drink was never introduced by me into Tahiti except informally through our good friends, Eastham and Carrie Guild. In 1944, after success with several exotic rum drinks, I felt a new drink was needed. I thought about all the really suc- cessful drinks: martinis, Manhattans, daiquiris . . . all basi- cally simple drinks. I was at the service bar in my Oakland restaurant. I took down a bottle of seventeen-year-old rum. It was J. Wray Nephew from Jamaica — surprisingly golden in color, medium bodied, but with the rich pungent flavor particular to the Jamaican blends. The flavor of this great rum wasn’t meant to be overpowered with heavy additions of fruit juices and flavorings. I took a fresh lime, added some orange curaçao from Holland, a dash of rock candy syrup, and a dollop of French orgeat for its subtle almond flavor. I added a generous amount of shaved ice and shook it vigorously by hand to produce the marriage I was after. Half the lime shell went into each drink for color; and I stuck in a branch of fresh mint. I gave the first two of them to Ham and Carrie Guild, friends from Tahiti, who were there that night. Carrie took one sip and said, „Mai Tai — Roa Aé.“ In Tahitian this means „Out of this world — the best.“ Well, that was that. I named the drink „Mai Tai.“ The drink enjoyed great acceptance over the next few years in California, and in Seattle when we opened Trader Vic’s there in 1948. In 1953, I took the Mai Tai to the Hawaiian Islands when I went down for the Matson Steamship Lines — to formalize drinks for the bars at their Royal Hawaiian, Moana, and Surfrider hotels. Any old Kamaaina can tell you about this drink and of its rapid spread throughout the islands. In 1954, we further introduced the Mai Tai when we in- cluded it among other new drinks in bar service for the Ameri- can President Lines. Now it is estimated that they serve several thousand Mai Tais daily in Honolulu alone; and we sell many more than that daily in our twenty Trader Vic’s restaurants throughout the world. Anybody who says I didn’t create this drink is a dirty stinker.

Ces deux cocktails, indiscutablement les plus répandus dans le monde entier, diffèrent parfois légèrement; ce d’après les habitudes du barman, le goût du consommateur, les usages du pays ou de la ville où ces drinks se consomment. Il y a de nombreuses années, on préparait habituellement ces cocktails dans le verre à mélange, c’est-à-dire «à la cuiller». La mode de les faire au shaker, introduite en ces der- nières années par les Américains du Nord, a sa vogue maintenant un peu partout. Personnellement, je suis partisan du shaker quand il fait très chaud, mais pour les pays centraux et ceux du nord de l’Europe, je pré- fère la préparation de ces cocktails au verre à mélange. Mais «goûts et couleurs ne se discutent pas». Les barmen de divers pays rivalisent en opinions diverses, les consom- mateurs discutent leurs préférences, donc inclinons-nous et voici mon Manhattan: Verre à mélange : 1 ou 2 traits d’angostura bitter. 2 ou 3 traits de sirop de sucre ou de curaçao. 1/2 rye whisky. 1/4 vermouth italien. 1/4 vermouth français. Remuer à la cuiller. Passer dans le verre. Ajouter olive ou cerise de préférence et presser pelure de citron dessus. Ce cocktail est demi- sec; si on le désire sec, employer 1/2 rye whisky et 1/2 vermouth français; si on le préfère doux, 1/2 rye whisky et 1/2 vermouth italien. La recette officielle de la Gilde des barmen d’Angleterre est la même, mais sans bitter et sans sirop ou curaçao. Harry Mac Elhone, du Harry’s New- York Bar, à Paris, préfère ce cocktail au shaker et avec un trait d’angostura seule- ment. Manhattan est le nom de l’île sur laquelle la ville de New-York est bâtie.

1939 Charles Browne: The Gun Club Drink Book. Seite 83. Manhattan Cocktail.
The essential materials in a Manhattan cocktail are rye or bourbon whiskey, Italian or sweet ver- mouth, and a dash of bitters. Originally (and even now recommended by some experts) the whiskey and vermouth were of equal proportions. Now the tendency leads toward dryer drinks, and in some bars the proportion is one part of vermouth to three or even four of whiskey. Angostura bitters are generally used, but experiments with Orange, Fischer’s, or Peychaud’s Bitters are quite in order and might give the host a reputation. At the moment the Gun Club mixer uses about one part of Italian vermouth to two and one-half parts of whiskey and a good dash of Peychaud’s Bitters. If a dryer drink is wanted, the use of French ver- mouth is allowable but is not orthodox. Some con- noisseurs or poseurs contend that in mixing a Man- hattan cocktail, the whiskey must always be put into the mixing glass before the vermouth but just why, deponent sayeth not. Also most bar books say that cocktails should be stirred in the ice but never shak- en, but after all, a vigorous stir or a gentle shake could hardly make much difference in the physio- logical or psychological effect in or of a drink. The use of Scotch whiskey instead of rye changes the name from „Manhattan“ to „Rob Roy.“ Presumably, if a green gage or a small stewed prune were used in stead of the conventional Maraschino cherry to gar- nish the Manhattan, another name would grace the mixture. The modern cocktail cherry has its stem attached; this is either to be used as a handle or to prove that it is a real cherry.

Drop a lump of sugar in a barglass, moisten with a very little water, dash on it the two bitters and crush with a barspoon. Add the rye whiskey (don’t use Bourbon) and then the vermouth. Drop several lumps of ice into the glass and stir. After straining into the cocktail glass, twist a bit of lemon peel over the mixture to extract the atom of oil, drop in a maraschino cherry with a very little of the sirup. There are almost as many recipes for a real Manhattan cocktail as there are skyscrapers in Little Old New York, or ways of getting into heaven. The Manhattan, origi- nated at the old Delmonico Restaurant in New York during the bibulous 90’s, was composed of one-third Italian vermouth, and two-thirds Bourbon whiskey. Nat- urally, the formula has been improved upon in New Orleans; you’ll note we always improve upon things to eat and drink in this New Orleans. Just an old Southern custom! The Manhattan as served over the better New Orleans bars has always had that certain something it lacks else where. Reason: in first-class establishments the mixol ogists use rye for the whiskey and the drink is stirred — never shaken. Properly mixed with good brands of liquor, the Manhattan is one of the finest drinks that flourishes under the name of cocktail, and well deserves the reputation that „it is the most popular cocktail in the world.“
1943 Stanley Clisby Arthur: Famous New Orleans Drinks. Seite 23. Dry Manhattan.
1 lump sugar 1 dash Peychaud bitters 1 dash Angostura bitters 1/3 jigger rye whiskey 1/3 jigger Italian vermouth 1/3 jigger French vermouth slice lemon peel This is mixed exactly as is the Manhattan. Must not be shaken — a brisk stirring with large lumps of ice is the proper procedure. Fine or crushed ice has a tendency to make drinks cloudy and whiskey cocktails should have a clear amber color. Put a cherry in the cocktail glass before straining in the mixture. There are cocktail quaffers who object to the sweet ness of the Manhattan made in the orthodox manner and prefer a dry Manhattan. The dryer drink is made by using a third of a jigger each of the rye, the Italian, and the French vermouths. When dropping the cherry into the cocktail glass do not include any of the sirup.

1953 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 111. The Manhattan.
I list the Manhattan second among our six basic cocktails because, of all the hundreds of so-called cocktails listed in recipe books and the dozens listed on the liquor cards of hotels and restaurants, more Mar- tinis and Manhattans are sold than any other kind. In fact, if we leave out Daiquiris and Old-Fashioneds, there are more Martinis and Man- hattans sold than all other kinds put together.
Just as in the case of Martinis, you will find Manhattan recipes varying all over the lot in their proportions. In fact, there are recipes that even suggest two parts of vermouth to one part of whisky. The usual recipe, however, is one part vermouth and two parts whisky.
A further complication enters the Manhattan field that is not found with Martinis. With Martinis it is recognized that, irrespective of the proportions of vermouth and gin, a Sweet Martini is made with Italian vermouth, a Dry Martini with French vermouth, and a Medium Martini with a combination of the two types of vermouth. The same distinction is usually made in the case of Manhattans. However, the combination of French vermouth and whisky is not pleasing to most palates and, accordingly, on the as sumption that a Manhattan is always made with Italian vermouth only, some people now use the terms Dry, Sweet, and Medium to designate the proportions of vermouth and whisky, a Sweet Manhattan being one made with 50 per cent or more of vermouth, a Medium Manhattan with about two parts of whisky to one of vermouth, and a Dry Manhattan with three or four parts of whisky to one of vermouth.
Both the Manhattan and the Old-Fashioned are usually made with rye whisky. I have already pointed out the fact that rye and bourbon can be used more or less interchangeably in most drinks and that they can be used in combination in most drinks. Many people — and I am one of them — prefer the flavor of bourbon to that of rye. If you are ordering one of these drinks at a bar and want it made with bourbon, you should specify „Bourbon Manhattan“ or „Bourbon Old-Fashioned.“ Also, you should specify a bonded whisky. Otherwise the bartender will prob- ably use a blended whisky — and whatever blend gives the proprietor the greatest margin of profit.
In all recipes in this book where either rye or bourbon can be used according to individual taste, I shall simply use the word „whisky.“ Scotch, however, is not interchangeable with American whiskies. Therefore, in recipes calling for the use of Scotch, the word „Scotch“ will be used instead of „whisky.“
Let us now return to our three types of Manhattans as set forth in most recipe books. They are as follows:
1953 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 112. Manhattan (Sweet).
1 part Italian Vermouth 2 parts Whisky 1 dash Angostura to each drink4 As above noted, some recipes call for equal parts of whisky and vermouth and some for other proportions.
4 The Sweet Manhattan made without bitters but with both orange peel and lemon peel in the mixture and shaken instead of stirred is called the ARMY. The plain Sweet Martini, made half and half, is sometimes called the NAVY. See also the Virgin, page 261.
1953 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 112. Manhattan (Medium).
1 part Italian Vermouth 1 part French Vermouth 4 parts Whisky 1 dash Angostura to each drink Here again the relative proportions of whisky and the vermouths vary with different authors. Also, some recipes call for orange bitters as well as Angostura.
1953 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 113. Manhattan (Dry).
1 part French Vermouth 2 parts Whisky 1 dash Angostura to each drink The comments respecting proportions as well as those respecting the use of orange bitters set forth above for the Medium Manhattan also apply to the Dry Manhattan. It is also quite common to add a twist of lemon and drop the peel into the Dry Manhattan.
1953 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 113. Manhattan de Luxe.
As in the case of the usual Martini recipes, the above Manhattan recipes are given for general information only. Once again I recommend that you forget them all and that, in your own home, you serve the following:
1 part Cinzano Italian Vermouth 3 parts Bonded Whisky 1 dash Angostura to each drink
Stir well in a bar glass or Martini pitcher with large cubes of ice and pour into chilled cocktail glasses. Add a maraschino cherry to each glass. Unless the cherries have stems attached, spear each cherry on a toothpick or use glass fruit spears.

2 parts rye or blended whisky 1 dash Angostura . 1 part Italian-type vermouth Stir with ice, strain into a cocktail glass, serve with a cherry. The Manhattan is one of the eight basic cocktails (six if you question the right to the Sidecar and the Stinger to be called „basic“). There are many variations on the basic theme, perhaps the most popular of which is the dry Manhattan. Thirty years ago if you asked for a dry Man- hattan you would probably get half whisky and half mixed vermouth. The atomic-age version is quite different. According to Joe Peters, who used to roam the Balkans and Central Europe for the AP and INS, the modern dry Manhattan was born (by accident) at Shanley’s, the hang- out of the New York Daily News staff on East Forty-first Street in Manhattan. The date: one day in the late ’30s when the joint was owned by Joe Cavanaugh and his sister Mary Shanley. But let Joe Peters tell it: „Warren Hall, then star writer for the News, was lunch- ing at Shanley’s and ordered a Manhattan as usual. He told the new bartender to make it ‚very dry.‘ The new man used only dry vermouth and very little of that. Warren took one sip—and loudly proclaimed it to be the best cocktail he had ever tasted. „The dry Manhattan soon became the favorite of the News staff, who have since spread its fame around the world. A group of News men, incidentally, now own Shanley’s and have given it the brilliantly original name of ‚The Fourth Estate.'“

5 parts rye 1 part dry vermouth Twist of lemon peel Stir with plenty of ice until frigid, strain into a cock- tail glass, and serve with lemon peel. Use American dry vermouth instead of imported French, Joe Peters ad- vises, because the strong aromatics of the imported will kill the flavor of good rye.

Well, here we go. In the East you will invariably have the manhattan served to you made with a blended whiskey while in the West Bourbon will automatically be used unless otherwise specified. Back in 1846 it is said that a bartender in Maryland quickly stirred up some whiskey, sugar syrup and bitters for a wounded dualist. Both the drink and the patient survived presumably to move on to New York where vermouth was added and the drink took on the name of the center of the metropolis. Manhattan before becoming the commercial center of New York was the name of an Algonquin Indian people who probably needed a drink after unloading some real estate on the guy with the beads. A more reliable source for the Manhattan is the celebration party at the Manhattan Club in New York for a reform candidate, Samuel Tilden. The drink fared much better than the candidate who eventually lost the most controversial election in the history of Presidential politics. Hayes became the „winner‘, but only after a lot of ballot box stuffing AND unstuffing. Many contend that Tilden won the election but then both sides were stretching the laws. Corruption is nothing new. In the old days you usually find ail sorts of goodies in the cocktails that you would never dream of using today. Syrups, liqueurs, and various other spices and aromatic flavorings were ail widely used, perhaps to cover the roughness of some of the whiskey of days gone by, similar to the times of Prohibition and „bathtub“ gin when ail sorts of juices, etc. were used to create cocktails which would mask the harsh moonshine. Here is one old recipe for the Manhattan:
2 dashes curaçao or maraschino 1 pony rye whiskey 1 wine glass of vermouth (type not specified) 3 dashes bitters 2 small lumps of ice shake up well serve with a slice of lemon! for sweeter drink add 2 dashes sugar syrup
From then on you will usually find some type of whiskey mixed with some kind of vermouth, usually with bitters of some sort and occasionally a drop or two of a sweetener and a garnish anywhere from a twist of lemon to a cherry. Which leaves a lot of room for, „What’s a real Manhattan?“ In the beginning it is a little confusing but after a while it gets much worse. The nomenclature isn’t much help, either. The usual specifications of „dry,“ „medium,“ or „sweet,“ can mean several things. If we take a regular manhattan to mean a certain portion of whiskey and sweet vermouth (with or without bitters) then a DRY MANHATTAN could mean the use of dry vermouth OR less sweet vermouth! A SWEET MANHATTAN on the other hand could mean the use of more sweet vermouth and/or the addition of a sweetener such as cherry juice. And of course there is the „perfect“ manhattan, another way of describing one made with 1/2 sweet and 2/2 dry vermouth. I would think that most restaurants and bars use the idea that a manhattan is made with sweet vermouth, a dry manhattan is made with dry vermouth and that a perfect manhattan is made with half sweet and half dry vermouth. So much for that. If I get a call for a SWEET manhattan I usually add a little cherry juice, if I get a call for an EXTRA dry manhattan I will check to see if the customer wants less sweet or less dry vermouth while if I get a call for a dry manhattan I simply use dry vermouth. The proportions that can be used are legion. Two parts whiskey and one part vermouth is probably most universal. Unfortunately, the use of bitters and other additives have falllen into disuse. I say unfortunately because these little extras can make a world of difference in the drink itself. And then there is always the type of drinker who ts not looking for a cocktail but rather how much he can get in a glass and resents anything but the basic liquor going into bis glass. He is not interested in a manhattan cocktail but rather a glass of whiskey. Here are some basic recipes:
cocktail glass stir 1 1/2 oz whiskey (Bourbon or blend) 3/4 oz sweet vermouth 1 dash Angostura bitters When scotch is used as the garnish with cherry basic whisky, the drink is . known as a ROB ROY. Sweet When Irish Whiskey is used, 1 1/2 oz whiskey see Paddy or Rory O’More. 3/4 oz sweet vermouth touch of cherry juice garnish with cherry with or without bitters
Dry 1 1/2 oz whiskey 3/4 oz dry vermouth try orange bitters try an olive while you are at it
Perfect 1 1/2 oz whiskey 1/4 oz sweet vermouth 1/4 OZ dry vermouth try a different bitters (i.e. Peychauds) or none at ail garnish with lemon twist
You can reinvent ail sorts of drinks by adding a touch of your favorite liqueur such as a dash of Bénédictine, Grand Marnier, curaçao, maraschino, etc. Or use a different modifier in place of the vermouth such as sherry, or other aperitifs, i.e., Dubonnet, etc.

Drop in a slice of pine- apple and a cherry if you wish and serve in mixing glass. This is the cocktail that Walter Bergeron, head bar- tender of the Hotel Monteleone cocktail lounge, takes special pride in mixing.

1900 William T. Boothby: Cocktail Boothby’s American Bartender. #187. Pony.
The word pony means small and is used in the ordering of a very small glass of any liquor, A pony glass is the smallest glass that is made; so,should you wish to serve a pony of any liquor, fill the smallest glass in the house with the desired brand and serve with ice water on the side. A neat way of serving a pony of any liquor is to place a small piece of ice in a small bar glass and pour the liquor from the pony glass over it, or place the small bar glass on the , bar in front of the customer so he can have it as he desires.
1908 William Boothby: The World’s Drinks. Seite 66. Pony.
The term pony in connection with the retail liquor business means very small, therefore a pony of any beverage is the smallest possible drink that can be served and a pony-glass is a glass having the smallest possibJe capacity.

An exact definition of the size of a jigger is not found in authentic dic- tionaries. As a unit of measure, it evidently had its origin at the bars of long ago. Thus, without foundation for its size in dictionaries, there is no authority for exact determination of its measure. Some localities, in usage, rec- ognize it as containing 1 ounce and others vary from there to 2 1/2 ounces. The author, after careful study, and for the purposes of the usage of the term herein, places it at 1.6 ounce, the best authorities having adopted this quan- tity.
1937 Anonymus: Here’s How. Seite 11. Measurements.
The standard of bar measurements is the „Jigger.“ Jiggers vary in size in various parts of the country and even in various bars of a particular city, but the term is popularly used to represent a measurement of 1 1/2 ounces. Jiggers can be bought in most any dime or department store; exer- cise caution though and get one of the right measurements. A whiskey glass of 1 ounces can be used for measuring liquors if no jigger is available. A tablespoon holds 1/2 oz.
1938 Hyman Gale & Gerald F. Marco: The How and When. Seite 87.
Jigger — 1 1/2 ounces. Pony — 3/4 ounce. Bar Spoon — equal to 1/2 teaspoon. Dash — equal to 20 drops or 1/4 teaspoon. Gill — equal to 4 ounces.

A large bar-glass was used, two tablespoons of raspberry
syrup, two dashes of lemon juice, one slice of pineapple, one slice of
orange. So far — so good ! But now what are you going to do? Now
you are supposed to put in a wine-glass of St. Croix rum and one-half
glass of Curacao. While it is hardly worth completing the recipe —
it may be briefly said that fine shaved ice filled the glass, all well stirred
or shaken, dressed with fruit and served with a straw.

1972 Trader Vic: Trader Vic’s Bartender’s Guide. Seite 162. Mai Tai.
There has been a lot of conversation over the beginning
of the Mai Tai. And I want to get the record straight. I
originated the Mai Tai.
Many others have claimed credit. Some claim it was
originated in Tahiti. All this aggravates my ulcer completely.
The drink was never introduced by me into Tahiti except
informally through our good friends, Eastham and Carrie
Guild.
In 1944, after success with several exotic rum drinks, I felt
a new drink was needed. I thought about all the really suc-
cessful drinks: martinis, Manhattans, daiquiris . . . all basi-
cally simple drinks.
I was at the service bar in my Oakland restaurant. I took
down a bottle of seventeen-year-old rum. It was J. Wray
Nephew from Jamaica — surprisingly golden in color, medium
bodied, but with the rich pungent flavor particular to the
Jamaican blends. The flavor of this great rum wasn’t meant
to be overpowered with heavy additions of fruit juices and
flavorings. I took a fresh lime, added some orange curaçao
from Holland, a dash of rock candy syrup, and a dollop of
French orgeat for its subtle almond flavor. I added a generous
amount of shaved ice and shook it vigorously by hand to
produce the marriage I was after. Half the lime shell went
into each drink for color; and I stuck in a branch of fresh
mint. I gave the first two of them to Ham and Carrie Guild,
friends from Tahiti, who were there that night.
Carrie took one sip and said, „Mai Tai — Roa Aé.“ In
Tahitian this means „Out of this world — the best.“ Well, that
was that. I named the drink „Mai Tai.“
The drink enjoyed great acceptance over the next few
years in California, and in Seattle when we opened Trader
Vic’s there in 1948.
In 1953, I took the Mai Tai to the Hawaiian Islands when
I went down for the Matson Steamship Lines — to formalize
drinks for the bars at their Royal Hawaiian, Moana, and
Surfrider hotels. Any old Kamaaina can tell you about this
drink and of its rapid spread throughout the islands.
In 1954, we further introduced the Mai Tai when we in-
cluded it among other new drinks in bar service for the Ameri-
can President Lines.
Now it is estimated that they serve several thousand Mai
Tais daily in Honolulu alone; and we sell many more than
that daily in our twenty Trader Vic’s restaurants throughout
the world.
Anybody who says I didn’t create this drink is a dirty
stinker.

Trader Vie concocted this rum specialty in 1944 and according to him it was named

1/4 gill of Canadian Club Whisky.
1/4 gill of Italian Vermouth.
1 or 2 dashes of Angostura Bitters.
1 Cherry.
1/2 tumblerful of broken Ice.
Half fill a tumbler with broken ice and first
add the Canadian Club Whisky, then the Italian
Vermouth and the Angostura Bitters. Stir
well and pass through a strainer into a cocktail
glass. Serve with a cherry.
One of the best-known cocktails: it deserves
to be a favourite.

This cocktail is prepared as in the previous
case, but French Vermouth is used instead of
Italian Vermouth. A much drier cocktail
is the result.

Ces deux cocktails, indiscutablement les
plus répandus dans le monde entier, diffèrent
parfois légèrement; ce d’après les habitudes
du barman, le goût du consommateur, les
usages du pays ou de la ville où ces drinks
se consomment.
Il y a de nombreuses années, on préparait
habituellement ces cocktails dans le verre à
mélange, c’est-à-dire «à la cuiller». La mode
de les faire au shaker, introduite en ces der-
nières années par les Américains du Nord,
a sa vogue maintenant un peu partout.
Personnellement, je suis partisan du shaker
quand il fait très chaud, mais pour les pays
centraux et ceux du nord de l’Europe, je pré-
fère la préparation de ces cocktails au verre à
mélange. Mais «goûts et couleurs ne se
discutent pas». Les barmen de divers pays
rivalisent en opinions diverses, les consom-
mateurs discutent leurs préférences, donc
inclinons-nous et voici mon Manhattan:
Verre à mélange :
1 ou 2 traits d’angostura bitter.
2 ou 3 traits de sirop de sucre ou de
curaçao.
1/2 rye whisky.
1/4 vermouth italien.
1/4 vermouth français.
Remuer à la cuiller. Passer dans le verre.
Ajouter olive ou cerise de préférence et presser
pelure de citron dessus. Ce cocktail est demi-
sec; si on le désire sec, employer 1/2 rye whisky
et 1/2 vermouth français; si on le préfère doux,
1/2 rye whisky et 1/2 vermouth italien.
La recette officielle de la Gilde des barmen
d’Angleterre est la même, mais sans bitter et
sans sirop ou curaçao.
Harry Mac Elhone, du Harry’s New-
York Bar, à Paris, préfère ce cocktail au
shaker et avec un trait d’angostura seule-
ment.
Manhattan est le nom de l’île sur laquelle
la ville de New-York est bâtie.

1939 Charles Browne: The Gun Club Drink Book. Seite 83. Manhattan Cocktail.
The essential materials in a Manhattan cocktail
are rye or bourbon whiskey, Italian or sweet ver-
mouth, and a dash of bitters. Originally (and even
now recommended by some experts) the whiskey
and vermouth were of equal proportions. Now the
tendency leads toward dryer drinks, and in some bars
the proportion is one part of vermouth to three or
even four of whiskey. Angostura bitters are generally
used, but experiments with Orange, Fischer’s, or
Peychaud’s Bitters are quite in order and might give
the host a reputation. At the moment the Gun Club
mixer uses about one part of Italian vermouth to
two and one-half parts of whiskey and a good dash
of Peychaud’s Bitters.
If a dryer drink is wanted, the use of French ver-
mouth is allowable but is not orthodox. Some con-
noisseurs or poseurs contend that in mixing a Man-
hattan cocktail, the whiskey must always be put into
the mixing glass before the vermouth but just why,
deponent sayeth not. Also most bar books say that
cocktails should be stirred in the ice but never shak-
en, but after all, a vigorous stir or a gentle shake
could hardly make much difference in the physio-
logical or psychological effect in or of a drink. The
use of Scotch whiskey instead of rye changes the name
from „Manhattan“ to „Rob Roy.“ Presumably, if
a green gage or a small stewed prune were used in
stead of the conventional Maraschino cherry to gar-
nish the Manhattan, another name would grace the
mixture. The modern cocktail cherry has its stem
attached; this is either to be used as a handle or to
prove that it is a real cherry.

1 lump sugar
1 dash Peychaud bitters
1 dash Angostura bitters
1/2 jigger rye whiskey
1/2 jigger Italian vermouth
1 slice lemon peel
Drop a lump of sugar in a barglass, moisten with a very little
water, dash on it the two bitters and crush with a barspoon. Add
the rye whiskey (don’t use Bourbon) and then the vermouth.
Drop several lumps of ice into the glass and stir. After straining
into the cocktail glass, twist a bit of lemon peel over the mixture
to extract the atom of oil, drop in a maraschino cherry with a
very little of the sirup.
There are almost as many recipes for a real Manhattan
cocktail as there are skyscrapers in Little Old New York,
or ways of getting into heaven. The Manhattan, origi-
nated at the old Delmonico Restaurant in New York
during the bibulous 90’s, was composed of one-third
Italian vermouth, and two-thirds Bourbon whiskey. Nat-
urally, the formula has been improved upon in New
Orleans; you’ll note we always improve upon things to
eat and drink in this New Orleans. Just an old Southern
custom!
The Manhattan as served over the better New Orleans
bars has always had that certain something it lacks else
where. Reason: in first-class establishments the mixol
ogists use rye for the whiskey and the drink is stirred —
never shaken. Properly mixed with good brands of
liquor, the Manhattan is one of the finest drinks that
flourishes under the name of cocktail, and well deserves
the reputation that „it is the most popular cocktail in
the world.“
1943 Stanley Clisby Arthur: Famous New Orleans Drinks. Seite 23. Dry Manhattan.
1 lump sugar
1 dash Peychaud bitters
1 dash Angostura bitters
1/3 jigger rye whiskey
1/3 jigger Italian vermouth
1/3 jigger French vermouth
slice lemon peel
This is mixed exactly as is the Manhattan. Must not be shaken —
a brisk stirring with large lumps of ice is the proper procedure.
Fine or crushed ice has a tendency to make drinks cloudy and
whiskey cocktails should have a clear amber color. Put a cherry
in the cocktail glass before straining in the mixture.
There are cocktail quaffers who object to the sweet
ness of the Manhattan made in the orthodox manner and
prefer a dry Manhattan. The dryer drink is made by
using a third of a jigger each of the rye, the Italian, and
the French vermouths. When dropping the cherry into
the cocktail glass do not include any of the sirup.

1953 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 111. The Manhattan.
I list the Manhattan second among our six basic cocktails because, of
all the hundreds of so-called cocktails listed in recipe books and the
dozens listed on the liquor cards of hotels and restaurants, more Mar-
tinis and Manhattans are sold than any other kind. In fact, if we leave
out Daiquiris and Old-Fashioneds, there are more Martinis and Man-
hattans sold than all other kinds put together.
Just as in the case of Martinis, you will find Manhattan recipes
varying all over the lot in their proportions. In fact, there are recipes
that even suggest two parts of vermouth to one part of whisky. The
usual recipe, however, is one part vermouth and two parts whisky.
A further complication enters the Manhattan field that is not found
with Martinis. With Martinis it is recognized that, irrespective of the
proportions of vermouth and gin, a Sweet Martini is made with Italian
vermouth, a Dry Martini with French vermouth, and a Medium
Martini with a combination of the two types of vermouth. The same
distinction is usually made in the case of Manhattans. However, the
combination of French vermouth and whisky is not pleasing to most
palates and, accordingly, on the as sumption that a Manhattan is always
made with Italian vermouth only, some people now use the terms
Dry, Sweet, and Medium to designate the proportions of vermouth and
whisky, a Sweet Manhattan being one made with 50 per cent or more of
vermouth, a Medium Manhattan with about two parts of whisky to
one of vermouth, and a Dry Manhattan with three or four parts of
whisky to one of vermouth.
Both the Manhattan and the Old-Fashioned are usually made with
rye whisky. I have already pointed out the fact that rye and bourbon can
be used more or less interchangeably in most drinks and that they can
be used in combination in most drinks. Many people — and I am one of
them — prefer the flavor of bourbon to that of rye. If you are ordering
one of these drinks at a bar and want it made with bourbon, you should
specify „Bourbon Manhattan“ or „Bourbon Old-Fashioned.“ Also, you
should specify a bonded whisky. Otherwise the bartender will prob-
ably use a blended whisky — and whatever blend gives the proprietor
the greatest margin of profit.
In all recipes in this book where either rye or bourbon can be used
according to individual taste, I shall simply use the word „whisky.“
Scotch, however, is not interchangeable with American whiskies.
Therefore, in recipes calling for the use of Scotch, the word „Scotch“
will be used instead of „whisky.“
Let us now return to our three types of Manhattans as set forth in
most recipe books. They are as follows:
1953 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 112. Manhattan (Sweet).
1 part Italian Vermouth
2 parts Whisky
1 dash Angostura to each drink4
As above noted, some recipes call for equal parts of whisky and
vermouth and some for other proportions.
4 The Sweet Manhattan made without bitters but with both orange peel and
lemon peel in the mixture and shaken instead of stirred is called the ARMY.
The plain Sweet Martini, made half and half, is sometimes called the NAVY.
See also the Virgin, page 261.
1953 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 112. Manhattan (Medium).
1 part Italian Vermouth
1 part French Vermouth
4 parts Whisky
1 dash Angostura to each drink
Here again the relative proportions of whisky and the vermouths vary
with different authors. Also, some recipes call for orange bitters as well
as Angostura.
1953 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 113. Manhattan (Dry).
1 part French Vermouth
2 parts Whisky
1 dash Angostura to each drink
The comments respecting proportions as well as those respecting the
use of orange bitters set forth above for the Medium Manhattan also
apply to the Dry Manhattan. It is also quite common to add a twist of
lemon and drop the peel into the Dry Manhattan.
1953 David A. Embury: The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks. Seite 113. Manhattan de Luxe.
As in the case of the usual Martini recipes, the above Manhattan recipes
are given for general information only. Once again I recommend that
you forget them all and that, in your own home, you serve the
following:
1 part Cinzano Italian Vermouth
3 parts Bonded Whisky
1 dash Angostura to each drink
Stir well in a bar glass or Martini pitcher with large cubes of ice and
pour into chilled cocktail glasses. Add a maraschino cherry to each
glass. Unless the cherries have stems attached, spear each cherry on a
toothpick or use glass fruit spears.

The Manhattan is one of the eight basic cocktails (six if
you question the right to the Sidecar and the Stinger to be
called „basic“). There are many variations on the basic
theme, perhaps the most popular of which is the dry
Manhattan. Thirty years ago if you asked for a dry Man-
hattan you would probably get half whisky and half mixed
vermouth. The atomic-age version is quite different.
According to Joe Peters, who used to roam the Balkans
and Central Europe for the AP and INS, the modern dry
Manhattan was born (by accident) at Shanley’s, the hang-
out of the New York Daily News staff on East Forty-first
Street in Manhattan. The date: one day in the late ’30s
when the joint was owned by Joe Cavanaugh and his sister
Mary Shanley. But let Joe Peters tell it:
„Warren Hall, then star writer for the News, was lunch-
ing at Shanley’s and ordered a Manhattan as usual. He told
the new bartender to make it ‚very dry.‘ The new man used
only dry vermouth and very little of that. Warren took one
sip—and loudly proclaimed it to be the best cocktail he
had ever tasted.
„The dry Manhattan soon became the favorite of the
News staff, who have since spread its fame around the
world. A group of News men, incidentally, now own
Shanley’s and have given it the brilliantly original name of
‚The Fourth Estate.'“
1957 Lawrence Blochman: Here’s How. Seite 20. Dry Manhattan.
5 parts rye
1 part dry vermouth
Twist of lemon peel
Stir with plenty of ice until frigid, strain into a cock-
tail glass, and serve with lemon peel. Use American dry
vermouth instead of imported French, Joe Peters ad-
vises, because the strong aromatics of the imported
will kill the flavor of good rye.

Lady Randolph Churchill, mother of Sir Winston, gave
a banquet in 1874 at the Manhattan Club in honor of
Samuel J. Tilden. The bartender combined Bourbon,
Sweet Vermouth and Bitters into a special drink for the
occasion, and gave birth to the now famous „Manhattan.“

Well, here we go. In the East you will invariably have the manhattan served to you
made with a blended whiskey while in the West Bourbon will automatically be used unless
otherwise specified. Back in 1846 it is said that a bartender in Maryland quickly stirred up
some whiskey, sugar syrup and bitters for a wounded dualist. Both the drink and the patient
survived presumably to move on to New York where vermouth was added and the drink took
on the name of the center of the metropolis. Manhattan before becoming the commercial
center of New York was the name of an Algonquin Indian people who probably needed a
drink after unloading some real estate on the guy with the beads.
A more reliable source for the Manhattan is the celebration party at the Manhattan Club in
New York for a reform candidate, Samuel Tilden. The drink fared much better than the
candidate who eventually lost the most controversial election in the history of Presidential
politics. Hayes became the „winner‘, but only after a lot of ballot box stuffing AND
unstuffing. Many contend that Tilden won the election but then both sides were stretching the
laws. Corruption is nothing new.
In the old days you usually find ail sorts of goodies in the cocktails that you would never
dream of using today. Syrups, liqueurs, and various other spices and aromatic flavorings were
ail widely used, perhaps to cover the roughness of some of the whiskey of days gone by,
similar to the times of Prohibition and „bathtub“ gin when ail sorts of juices, etc. were used to
create cocktails which would mask the harsh moonshine. Here is one old recipe for the
Manhattan:
2 dashes curaçao or maraschino
1 pony rye whiskey
1 wine glass of vermouth (type not specified)
3 dashes bitters
2 small lumps of ice
shake up well
serve with a slice of lemon!
for sweeter drink add 2 dashes sugar syrup
From then on you will usually find some type of whiskey mixed with some kind of vermouth,
usually with bitters of some sort and occasionally a drop or two of a sweetener and a garnish
anywhere from a twist of lemon to a cherry. Which leaves a lot of room for, „What’s a real
Manhattan?“ In the beginning it is a little confusing but after a while it gets much worse. The
nomenclature isn’t much help, either. The usual specifications of „dry,“ „medium,“ or
„sweet,“ can mean several things. If we take a regular manhattan to mean a certain portion of
whiskey and sweet vermouth (with or without bitters) then a DRY MANHATTAN could mean
the use of dry vermouth OR less sweet vermouth! A SWEET MANHATTAN on the other hand
could mean the use of more sweet vermouth and/or the addition of a sweetener such as cherry
juice.
And of course there is the „perfect“ manhattan, another way of describing one made with 1/2
sweet and 2/2 dry vermouth. I would think that most restaurants and bars use the idea that a
manhattan is made with sweet vermouth, a dry manhattan is made with dry vermouth and that
a perfect manhattan is made with half sweet and half dry vermouth. So much for that. If I get
a call for a SWEET manhattan I usually add a little cherry juice, if I get a call for an EXTRA
dry manhattan I will check to see if the customer wants less sweet or less dry vermouth while
if I get a call for a dry manhattan I simply use dry vermouth.
The proportions that can be used are legion. Two parts whiskey and one part vermouth is
probably most universal. Unfortunately, the use of bitters and other additives have falllen into
disuse. I say unfortunately because these little extras can make a world of difference in the
drink itself. And then there is always the type of drinker who ts not looking for a cocktail but
rather how much he can get in a glass and resents anything but the basic liquor going into bis
glass. He is not interested in a manhattan cocktail but rather a glass of whiskey. Here are some
basic recipes:
cocktail glass stir
1 1/2 oz whiskey (Bourbon or blend)
3/4 oz sweet vermouth
1 dash Angostura bitters When scotch is used as the
garnish with cherry basic whisky, the drink is
. known as a ROB ROY.
Sweet When Irish Whiskey is used,
1 1/2 oz whiskey see Paddy or Rory O’More.
3/4 oz sweet vermouth
touch of cherry juice
garnish with cherry
with or without bitters
Dry
1 1/2 oz whiskey
3/4 oz dry vermouth
try orange bitters
try an olive while you are at it
Perfect
1 1/2 oz whiskey
1/4 oz sweet vermouth
1/4 OZ dry vermouth
try a different bitters (i.e. Peychauds) or none at ail
garnish with lemon twist
You can reinvent ail sorts of drinks by adding a touch of your favorite liqueur such as a dash
of Bénédictine, Grand Marnier, curaçao, maraschino, etc. Or use a different modifier in place
of the vermouth such as sherry, or other aperitifs, i.e., Dubonnet, etc.

The benedictine is used as a base and also for sweetening the

vermouth. Put several lumps of ice in the barglass. Stir. Twist
a slice of lemon peel over the mixture. Drop in a slice of pine-
apple and a cherry if you wish and serve in mixing glass.

Volumetrische Mengenangaben
1900 William T. Boothby: Cocktail Boothby’s American Bartender. #187. Pony.
The word pony means small and is used in the ordering of a very small
glass of any liquor, A pony glass is the smallest glass that is made; so,should
you wish to serve a pony of any liquor, fill the smallest glass in the house with
the desired brand and serve with ice water on the side. A neat way of serving
a pony of any liquor is to place a small piece of ice in a small bar glass and
pour the liquor from the pony glass over it, or place the small bar glass on the ,
bar in front of the customer so he can have it as he desires.
1908 William Boothby: The World’s Drinks. Seite 66. Pony.
The term pony in connection with the retail liquor business means very
small, therefore a pony of any beverage is the smallest possible drink that
can be served and a pony-glass is a glass having the smallest possibJe capacity.

* Note — For many years the term jigger has
been used to denote a certain amount or unit
of measure and also an instrument of measure
of varying form. An exact definition of the
size of a jigger is not found in authentic dic-
tionaries. As a unit of measure, it evidently
had its origin at the bars of long ago. Thus,
without foundation for its size in dictionaries,
there is no authority for exact determination
of its measure. Some localities, in usage, rec-
ognize it as containing 1 ounce and others vary
from there to 2 1/2 ounces. The author, after
careful study, and for the purposes of the
usage of the term herein, places it at 1.6 ounce,
the best authorities having adopted this quan-
tity.
1937 Anonymus: Here’s How. Seite 11. Measurements.
The standard of bar measurements is the „Jigger.“ Jiggers
vary in size in various parts of the country and even in
various bars of a particular city, but the term is popularly
used to represent a measurement of 1 1/2 ounces. Jiggers
can be bought in most any dime or department store; exer-
cise caution though and get one of the right measurements.
A whiskey glass of 1 ounces can be used for measuring
liquors if no jigger is available. A tablespoon holds 1/2 oz.
1938 Hyman Gale & Gerald F. Marco: The How and When. Seite 87.
