#BULLEIT MANHATTAN COCKTAIL FULL#
What we do know for certain is the first mention of the Manhattan cocktail is in the 1882 Sunday Morning Herald and the first full recipe appears in 1884. From there, Manhattan’s popularity took off. Either someone named “Black” or someone named “Walker” combined a few simple ingredients together for this beautifully complex result. The other two stories are less interesting but more likely. Churchill was being born in England on the day of the banquet, and it’s highly unlikely his mother missed the birth, even for politics. Unfortunately, like most dramatically romantic stories, this one doesn’t hold up to facts.
The most exciting involves a political banquet at the New York Manhattan Club with Winston Churchill’s mother in attendance. There are at least three different origin stories. The exact origins of Manhattan will probably never be uncovered. And from the moment it debuted in the 1880s through today, it fits right in. Sharing a name with the glittering New York island, the Manhattan conjures up images of slick, modern nightclubs and glamorous nightlife. You have to be a pretty good cocktail to feature in one of the best comedy films of all time, Some Like it Hot.
