Auto Draft
Notes
A great way to remember the recipe is to note that it replicates the Manhattan telephone area code: 2-1-2
2 parts bourbon
1 part vermouth
2 dashes bitters
There is also a legend that Winston Churchill's mother Jennie Jerome is responsible for the creation of the Manhattan. She was a young socialite in New York City and hosted an event for the Governor of New York for which the bartenders developed the "Manhattan" as a signature drink.
