What works is a vermouth rinse with a little left over and a normal pour of whisky and that is probably what you are getting.

whoever invented this should be shot out of a cannon! The classic 2:1 recipe should be default unless specified otherwise

stick to places that specialize in cocktails

I shouldnt have to go to a specialty cocktail bar to get one of the most basic drinks out there. Even a 10 year old, part time bartender can do it properly (most of the time)!Sad state of affairs in 2026. No wonder alcohol consumption is at an all time low

thank you for your professional insight.

yeah, a vermouth rinse is not a Manhattan. Bars basically stopped trying.

This is how I feel trying to order a margarita without added sugar.
