About Manhattan
The Manhattan is a classic cocktail originating from the United States, specifically New York City, in the mid-19th century. Traditionally made with a blend of whiskey (often rye or bourbon), sweet vermouth, and bitters, it is served straight up in a cocktail glass. As a beverage, it provides minimal nutritional contributions due to its alcohol content, with approximately 222 calories per serving. The drink contains a very low amount of carbs (1.82 grams) and negligible amounts of protein and fat, with no significant levels of vitamins or minerals. As such, its nutritional profile is largely dictated by its alcohol content and mix-ins.
Health Benefits
- Moderate consumption of whiskey, a primary ingredient, has been linked to improved heart health due to its antioxidant compounds called ellagic acid.
- Sweet vermouth contains polyphenols, which may support healthy blood sugar regulation and cardiovascular health when consumed sparingly.
- Alcohol in small quantities can aid in relaxation and stress relief, though moderation is critical to avoid adverse effects.
Dietary Considerations
Selection and Storage
Store whiskey and vermouth in a cool, dark place. Vermouth should be refrigerated after opening to maintain freshness.
