supposed cocktail of the year

Tall House, Double Cup and our neighbors have been talking about Manhattans for several weeks.

The guys read that someone named them the hot cocktail of 2009, we decided to do a recipe testing. THDC picked out two different approaches - one from our favorite bar, 820, and another he found online.

Both were wickedly alcoholic! I am too used to those girlie Lemon Drops and Cosmos to really appreciate straight liquor. In the end, we all liked the second recipe better. The guys went on for a couple more while the girls switched to lighter fare. We wanted to be awake after 8pm.
