Aug 4-Manhattan

Wait we are talking about the Manhattan already? I felt this way with the Old Fashioned too but this is probably one of the most ordered drinks in higher end bars along with the old fashioned as I alluded to earlier. When it comes to this cocktail, it has everything and very little in a cocktail all at once. When I say that I mean it has everything I want in a cocktail but 3 ingredients. This makes me think it will score highly with my judge tonight. This cocktail consists of Rye, Sweet Vermouth and Bitters. You will notice that similar to the old fashioned, this cocktail is another whose recipe is the definition of a cocktail. Your Rye is your spirit, your bitters are your bitters and the sweet vermouth is water and sweet.

This cocktail was created at the famous manhattan club in New York City. The cool thing about this cocktail is that it started a whole family of cocktails, that familyu even has a subfamily. The Manhattan family is essentially any cocktail that features whiskey of some kind, vermouth and bitters, under that is a fake sub family of these variations that are named after fellow New York neighbourhoods. Such examples of these are the Greenpoint, Little Italy and the Slope.
