description Perfect Manhattan Overview
The Perfect Manhattan is a variation of the Manhattan cocktail made with whiskey and equal portions of sweet and dry vermouth, usually finished with aromatic bitters. In bartending terminology, "perfect" describes the split between the two vermouth styles rather than a judgment about quality. It is a stirred, spirit-forward drink suited to people who want a drier and more balanced vermouth profile than a standard sweet Manhattan provides.
