Just wanted to post a pic of what I consider to be the most perfect cocktail in the universe, a Manhattan, created by old pal and mixologist extraordinaire Tim H. of Leopold's Kafe in Georgetown. Tim's use of just the right amount of bitters yields a lovely drink, essentially a bourbon martini, but the bitters must be right on. Too much or too little and you've got just a big ass shot of chilled bourbon. [And don't get me wrong, that works too.]Yes, you probably know the Manhattan as that old-lady cocktail that your aunt drinks at family gatherings to dull the pain but the time has come to revamp this broad's image. With the economy in the toilet and that whole 40-hour work week deal, we need to have a cocktail such as this to keep us in [wait for it...] high spirits.
