1. You can’t kill someone with such good taste in drinks!

   • Are you new here? ó_o

2. Funny, one of the few Manhattan recipes I’ve seen that calls for a lemon twist rather than a cherry. Our dear departed doctor dad favored a Manhattan with Seagram’s VO, Martini & Rossi sweet vermouth and a lemon twist when he came home from the office, a martini if it was a really bad day. By the time the three of us were 18, we could make a martini, manhattan and pour a glass of beer with little head, (gotta teach your kids right!)

   • In my long drinking experience, many dry Manhattans (dry vermouth rather than sweet) are served with a lemon twist.

   • I chose a lemon twist for Kat’s cocktail because it was already skewing a bit sweet with the addition of the sweet liqueurs. I felt like the bit of lemon astringency helped a bit with balance.

     • Come to think of it, I was probably partially inspired by the Vieux Carre, one of my partner’s favorite drinks:

       which is definitely part of the Manhattan family, and is usually garnished with a lemon twist

3. What’s a song for a drink with slices of lime stuck on the edge of the glass?

5. We haven’t seen a ‘Kat’ in Munkytown yet, have we?
