Best of Boston 2011: Cocktail, Classic
Ideal Manhattan (Citizen Public House and Oyster Bar)
|
Like an antique wing chair done up in a sharp new print, Citizen’s spin on the Manhattan hews to tradition while freshening things up. The cocktail starts with the classic recipe (Maker’s Mark, sweet vermouth, Angostura), then amps it up with a touch of the unconventional (St. Germain, grapefruit bitters). The final effect? True to the original cocktail’s spirit, but tastier.
