Episode Synopsis

ManhattanWelcome back to "Cocktails," the podcast where we delve into the history, mix up the recipes, and share the secrets behind some of the world's most iconic drinks. Today, we're pouring a true classic— the Manhattan, a sophisticated blend of whiskey, vermouth, and bitters. The Manhattan is one of the finest and oldest cocktails, believed to have been invented at the Manhattan Club in New York City in the early 1870s. The story goes that it was concocted for a banquet hosted by Lady Randolph Churchill (Winston Churchill's mother), though this has been debunked as she was actually in England at the time. Regardless of its true origins, the Manhattan has remained a staple in the cocktail world, cherished for its deep, complex flavors.
