Review:
A tequila and brandy-based Manhattan. When I first made this cocktail I concluded I thought it needed bitters. It doesn't, but if you do add bitters then vanilla, Boker's or Abbott's all work better than Angostura or simular aromatic bitters.
History:
A forgotten cocktail from the 1980s/90s.
