As you can see, Manhattan cocktail can be cooked in different versions. But the main condition is not to whip the cocktail, but stir it with a spoon. There are three reasons for this. First, the cocktail in this way quickly cools. Secondly, the ice during the stirring will melt a little and dilute the cocktail to the desired state, which is also very important. Thirdly, whipping in the cocktail gets air, which then starts to rise in small bubbles, which greatly affects the look of the cocktail, making it look like a cloud. You can whisk a cocktail in a blender, but remember that it is still desirable to stir it.
