Inside New York’s famed Carlyle Hotel resides the iconic Bemelmans Bar, where this cocktail originated. The drink is named after Bobby Short, an American cabaret singer and pianist who was a regular performer at Café Carlyle next door. His favorite drink was a Manhattan, so they created this rum Manhattan just for him.
