“Manhattan was invented in the late 19th century when socialite Jenny Jerome asked a bartender to mix a special cocktail for elected Governor of New York, Samuel J. Tilden at the Manhattan Club in New York City. And the cocktail was named after the bar.”
Sipping this cocktail with historic roots makes me feel so grown up and connected with the past. My preference is to not have it in a cocktail glass, but on the rocks. cocktail glasses seem too snooty.
So next time you want to order a drink for me… get this lady a manhattan on the rocks.
