How did I get this recipe?

The first time I saw this recipe, I was captivated. It was a warm summer day and I was visiting my friend Martha in her cozy little apartment in Manhattan. As soon as I walked in, I was hit with the most amazing aroma - it was coming from the kitchen where Martha was busy preparing a delicious cocktail.

I watched intently as Martha expertly mixed together bourbon, sweet vermouth, and a dash of bitters. She then poured the mixture into a glass filled with ice and topped it off with a cherry. As she handed me the glass, she said with a smile, "This is a Manhattan - it's a classic cocktail that never disappoints."

I took a sip and immediately fell in love with the bold and complex flavors of the drink. I knew right then and there that I had to learn how to make it myself. Martha was more than happy to teach me the recipe and share with me the story behind it.

She explained that the Manhattan cocktail was invented in the late 19th century at the Manhattan Club in New York City. It quickly became a favorite among the city's elite and has since become a staple in cocktail bars around the world. The drink is said to be named after the club where it was first served, and its popularity has only grown over the years.

Martha showed me her own twist on the classic recipe, which included a few extra ingredients to elevate the flavors even more. She encouraged me to experiment with different variations and make the recipe my own. I was inspired by her creativity and passion for cooking, and I couldn't wait to recreate the Manhattan cocktail in my own kitchen.

Over the years, I have perfected my own version of the Manhattan cocktail, blending together the perfect balance of sweet, bitter, and boozy flavors. I have shared the recipe with friends and family, who have all fallen in love with the drink just as I did that fateful day in Martha's apartment.
