Chicago Tribune, included in the article "Eighteen New Books We Can't Wait to Check Out in May." *** "When the Manhattan came along in the late 19th century, it changed everything, according to this book. As Gotham's watering holes embraced the new concoction, the original cocktail soon became old hat and known as the Old Fashioned. Cocktail historian Philip Greene traces the evolution of the drink from its competing origin stories through its continuing influence and extensive progeny, including the Martini. Illustrated with vintage ads and artwork and luxe photographs, this definitive, illustrated story of the Manhattan also offers 65 easy-to-follow recipes. Classic variations and contemporary updates range from the Brooklyn and the Vesper to the Little Italy and Red Hook." Cheers magazine *** "If you're thirsty for a good story, you've come to the right place." Liquor.com *** "Few men are more well-versed in topics of such great import than Philip Greene. He's the author of To Have and Have Another: A Hemingway Cocktail Companion, as well as the forthcoming book The Manhattan: The Story of the First Modern Cocktail. He's also a cofounder of the Museum of the American Cocktail, a brand ambassador for Papa's Pilar rum and generally someone with whom you'd like to consume an alcoholic beverage." UrbanDaddy.com "What cocktail could be so great as to have an entire book dedicated to it? The author makes the case that the Manhattan is just such a cocktail. Going deep into its history (yes, it was most likely invented in Manhattan), the book succeeds in dispelling several myths about the drink's origins while extolling its virtues and the many cocktails it gave birth to. In addition to historical recipes, it also highlights several contemporary variations named for outer-borough neighborhoods, like the Red Hook and the Bensonhurst."
