Manhattan
It took me years to finally realize how amazing of a drink a Manhattan can be. A mixture of falling back on my go to Old Fashioned and ordering a Manhattan at the wrong places made me think this drink wasn't for me.
I was wrong. The Manhattan is a classic for all the right reasons. A beautiful dance by a few high quality ingredients. High. Quality. Ingredients.
