Had myself my version of a Tango Manhattan.
I checked out Philly restaurateur Stephen Starr's latest place, a blatant attempt to co-opt some of this faux-speakeasy trend that's been going around. For those who know the Franklin Mortgage and Investment Co (Hunts - I finally made it there, and you were right!) it's his riff on that. He even imported Sasha Petraske from Milk & Honey in NYC to help run the place.
I just followed your recipe and did not get that color (mine is pink from the maraschino
ok, i did the wrong thing - i bought their actual cherries and used the juice

He even imported Sasha Petraske from Milk & Honey in NYC to help run the place. Anyway, I had their Brooklyn No. 2, which is basically the Tango Manhattan. Rye, sweet vermouth, and maraschino, sans bitters. It was superb.
I'm already mourning when my VTR bitters run out and hope I can get some shipped to me.
Glad you got to the Franklin. It is awesome. I wish it was closer to me! Starr got Petraske? Interesting, since Death consulted on the Franklin. Oh, is this that side bar to the Mexican-sounding joint? Didn't know it was open. Details, location, name, etc, please. I will be in Philly in a few weeks.
Oops, I meant to put the name in. It's called the Ranstead Room, on Ranstead St (the alley-street between Chestnut and Market) between 20th and 21st. (so yes - directly on the other side of the block from El Rey, now occupying the site of the ol' Midtown IV diner). The exterior definitely plays up the theme, so look for the building with the pink light on the second floor balcony. Up close you can see their "ЯR" logo on the door. You might also be careful who you bring - the six paintings on the wall are all of topless women. Done with class, of course, so I had no complaints.
