Comments:
By definition, this is your basic
cocktail as it incorporates
something spiritual, something
tasteful, something sweet and
something bitter with ice for
dilution. Since bitters will often
define a cocktail and since
everyone’s taste is different,
we always list the amount of
bitters with the codicil,
"or to taste". As you can see
The Metropolitan is no
exception to that rule.
