“The Perfect Manhattan represents the evolution of cocktail sophistication, building upon the classic Manhattan's foundation by employing equal parts sweet and dry vermouth. This "perfect" technique creates a more nuanced, complex drinking experience that's less sweet than a classic Manhattan and more complex than a Dry Manhattan. The 2:1:1 ratio of whiskey to total vermouth allows the spicy, fruity character of rye whiskey to shine while the dual vermouths provide layered botanical complexity.”
