you first confirm that I'm not just off in left field with something that has a similar name.

Here's a tip.

An Old Fashion is made with Whiskey, unless you are in some Northern states, where it's made with Brandy.

I think it was the Manhatten that was originally made with Rye Whiskey, but times change.

One of the Tomcat recipes I found was made with something other than Bourbon, so it could be a complete miss.

Atomic Bomb I found a variety, including some modern shooters. But I did find one older recipe. That was using "Atomic Bomb Cocktail" not A-Bomb or A Bomb and Flamingo.

If they still make them, I'm sure someone could watch and see what's going into it, with a little sipping it would be easy to figure out.

This is nothing like my quest for the perfect Margarita which took years of mixing and sampling. Too bad I stopped partying over five years ago and became boring.

Helping a friend at her bar after 30 years, reminded me why I said I'd never bartend again.
