About
The Boothby is a pre-Prohibition cocktail that originated at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco around 1910, created by William 'Cocktail' Boothby. Essentially a Manhattan with a sparkling touch, the Boothby adds a splash of brut Champagne to the classic combination of rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, and bitters, offering a light, effervescent finish. Boothby himself was a notable figure in the bartending world, known for his creativity and influence in San Francisco's cocktail culture. His book, 'Cocktail Boothby’s American Bar-Tender,' was one of the first cocktail manuals on the West Coast, cementing his legacy as a pioneer of American mixology. The Boothby cocktail remains a timeless tribute to his contributions, perfect for those who enjoy the depth of a Manhattan with a refreshing twist of bubbles.
