Quick Summary
The Dry Manhattan is a variation of the classic Manhattan cocktail. A traditional Manhattan is made with rye whiskey or bourbon, vermouth, and bitters, garnished with a maraschino cherry. The ratio of whiskey to vermouth determines if a Manhattan is "wet" or "dry." A Dry Manhattan specifically uses a higher proportion of dry vermouth to whiskey, typically two parts whiskey to one part dry vermouth, along with bitters. This cocktail is known for its timeless appeal and is considered one of the most popular mixed drinks globally.1
