The Worst Cocktail in the World

F-ing Las Vegas. What? How many ingredients are in a Manhattan? That would be three.

Three ingredients. One of which the customer specified as Maker's Mark bourbon. So, two are all the bartender needed to come up with.

Caesar's Palace. Night of the Leonard Cohen concert. Rodeo in town. Just wanted a quick cocktail and some people-watching before the show.

The bartender didn't know the ingredients. Then as he was doing his "flair" he broke an entire bottle of vodka. (No vodka in a Manhattan, but whatever...) and then after cleaning up the glass, identifying that vermouth and bitters were part of the equation, and pretending he was roping a "doggie" with the soda gun...he charged me $25.

wtf.
