American

A. country where the Manhattan was poured in 1874, the Sazerac before the Civil War, the Old Fashioned named at the Pendennis Club, and the back bar of every neighbourhood reads like a regional map. From Kentucky bourbon to Napa cab, Southern sweet tea to Brooklyn cold brew, the diner mug to the speakeasy — eight glasses, deep — from the bartenders who guard the recipe and the regions that wrote the rules.
