Which cocktail is listed under whiskey cocktails in the material?

• A. Manhattan
• B. Old Fashioned
• C. Margarita
• D. Daiquiri

Answer: (A)

Whiskey cocktails are built around whiskey as the main spirit, with other ingredients chosen to complement or enhance that whiskey profile. The Manhattan fits this idea perfectly: it centers on whiskey (usually rye or bourbon) and combines it with sweet vermouth and bitters, giving a smooth, stirred, up- or chilled-serve drink that foregrounds the whiskey flavor. That strong whiskey base is what marks it as a whiskey cocktail, which is why it’s listed in that category in the material. The other options aren’t whiskey-based: Margarita uses tequila and lime, Daiquiri uses rum, and Old Fashioned, while also whiskey-based, is typically grouped differently in various materials, but the Manhattan is the example identified under whiskey cocktails here.
