Manhattan Skyscraper Recipe Information


The legend behind this drink revolves around the young artist Simone Weingarnter and her time spent in the bars in Manhattan, NYC. Apparantly her favourite cocktail was, of course, the Manhattan but she found that it produced too much appetite when drunk during the day. She wanted a Manhattan, but something she could sit on for a while without the hunger and the quick heating of the classic Manhattan. This was her solution, a tall Manhattan with a ginger ale throw that by association became the Manhattan Skyscraper.
