A Manhattan is a cocktail made with whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters. Commonly used whiskeys include rye (the traditional choice), Canadian whisky, bourbon, blended whiskey, and Tennessee whiskey. The cocktail is often stirred and strained into a cocktail glass, where it is garnished with a Maraschino cherry with a stem.〔(Recipe for a Manhattan Cocktail ) from about.com〕〔http://mybestcocktails.com/recipe-21-Manhattan.html Recipe for a classic Manhattan Cocktail〕 A Manhattan can also be served on the rocks in a lowball glass. The whiskey-based Manhattan is one of five cocktails named for one of New York City's five boroughs, but is perhaps most closely related to the Brooklyn cocktail,〔(The Brooklyn Cocktail | Serious Eats : Recipes )〕 a mix utilizing dry vermouth and Maraschino liqueur in place of the Manhattan's sweet vermouth, as well as Amer Picon in place of the Manhattan's traditional bitters. The Manhattan is one of six basic drinks listed in David A. Embury's classic ''The Fine Art of Mixing Drinks''. ==Origin and history== A popular history suggests that the drink originated at the Manhattan Club in New York City in the early 1870s, where it was invented by Dr. Iain Marshall for a banquet hosted by Jennie Jerome (Lady Randolph Churchill, mother of Winston) in honor of presidential candidate Samuel J. Tilden. The success of the banquet made the drink fashionable, later prompting several people to request the drink by referring to the name of the club where it originated—"the ''Manhattan'' cocktail".〔(Holiday Cocktail Party ) from CocktailTimes.com〕〔 qtd. in 〕 However, Lady Randolph was in France at the time and pregnant, so the story is likely a fiction.〔Winston Churchill, My Early Life〕 The original "Manhattan cocktail" was a mix of "American Whiskey, Italian Vermouth and Angostura bitters".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Manhattan )〕 During Prohibition (1920–1933) Canadian whisky was primarily used because it was available.〔(ref:blog ''The Bar Mixer Has Spoken...'' retrieved March 6 2013 )〕 However, there are prior references to various similar cocktail recipes called "Manhattan" and served in the Manhattan area.〔 By one account it was invented in the 1860s by a bartender named Black at a bar on Broadway near Houston Street. An early record of the cocktail can be found in William Schmidt's "The Flowing Bowl", published in 1891. In it, he details a drink containing 2 dashes of gum (gomme syrup), 2 dashes of bitters, 1 dash of absinthe, 2/3 portion of whiskey and 1/3 portion of vermouth. The same cocktail appears listed as a "Tennessee Cocktail" in ''Shake 'em Up!'' by V. Elliott and P. Strong, copyright 1930 (p. 39): "Two parts of whiskey, one part of Italian Vermouth and a dash of bitters poured over ice and stirred vigorously." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Manhattan (cocktail)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
