Manhattan: The Story of the First Modern Cocktail with Recipes
Manhattan: The Story of the First Modern Cocktail with Recipes | Philip Greene
2 posts | 2 read | 8 to read
When the Manhattan came along, it changed everything. As Gotham s finest watering holes embraced the new concoction, the original cocktail soon became old hat and known as the Old-Fashioned. Cocktail historian Philip Greene expertly traces the evolution of this new drink from its competing origin stories through its continuing influence and extensive progeny, including the almighty Martini itself. Richly illustrated with vintage ads and artwork and luxe photographs, this definitive, illustrated story of the Manhattan also offers 65 easy-to-follow recipes. Classic variations and contemporary updates range from the Brooklyn and the Vesper to the Little Italy and Red Hook. If you re thirsty for a good story, you ve come to the right place."
