Not too many drinks can compare with the excellent «Manhattan» or a Martini. However, they have one significant drawback – alcohol.
Of course, people go to bars precisely in order to overturn a glass-another something more fun than orange juice. But we must admit that some of the classic cocktails so strong that circling his head is not worse than the good old whiskey and similar drinks.
To slow down the pace in the midst of yesterday, the bartenders came up with a way to kill two birds with one stone: they play with the amount of alcohol in the cocktail, keeping the ingredients, but the «flipping formula«: for example, mixing two parts sweet vermouth with one part rye whiskey, and not Vice versa. So is the inverted «Manhattan», which is not as strong as the original, but so delicious (to verify, go to the bar the Nite Cap serving this cocktail).
The people of new York never complained about the lack of good bars with fancy cocktails, and now we’ve found that well-known and many beloved classics can be viewed from a new angle. If you already can’t wait to taste the first alcoholic trend in 2018, head to one of the institutions, from our list, or even several of them, because inverted cocktails you can drink a little more than their conventional counterparts.
