Let's Make a Big City Cat

Today we are making a big city cat — a favorite in our household. A Big City Cat is, in short, a Manhattan, but using Tom Cat Gin. The story goes that in 18th century England as gin consumption was being curbed, there were cat plaques or Old Toms that were mounted outside of pubs to signal that gin was served there or some, you put a coin into the slot under the paw and a shot a gin would be dispensed by a bartender.
