"You must try the signature food/drink of the place you are".
Examples of that:
Philadelphia = Cream Cheese
New York = Cheesecake / NY Steak
California = Sushi (California)
Puerto Rico = Piña Colada
This philosophy is especially great when the name of the place is the name of the dish/drink, as it happens with the world famous Manhattan. And you can have it straight up or on the rocks. But, common, if you are going to a Manhattan you shall go straight up!
Original Recipe according to IBA (international bartenders association):
The first time I drunk one was at the Bourbon Street in São Paulo. Many years had pass since one month ago, which I tried again at Buddakan (NYC).
With an amazing texture and flavor, it made me rethink about the role of the cocktails, and also create a personal challenge.
Which is the best Manhattan of Manhattan?? Until now, just Buddakan with a big 9 (which is subject to alteration).
So let's start the competition.

I'm trying the same thing for years with beer, according to my theory that the beer cans in the 12-pack don't have the same taste.
