(512) Pecan Porter for me, Perfect Manhattan for Z.
Surprised to find that the Rainey St. bar has upped its drinks game with a relatively new cocktail menu (implemented last month? The bartender wasn’t sure). The Perfect Manhattan was indeed perfect in the sense that it had both sweet and dry vermouths, and tasted balanced and clean (and stirred!!!). Nice to see people beginning to pay attention to how traditional drinks should be made, instead of running with the concept of classic cocktails but not following any established recipe or technique to mix it up. Well done, Clive.
