The Pendergast #2 was created by Kansas City Barman Ryan Maybee owner of not only the renowned speakeasy Manifesto (and it’s sister restaurant) but also the J. Rieger Kansas City Whiskey Brand! And it is fantastic Whiskey! Definitely go get yourself a bottle of this fantastic juice! The cocktail is named after Kansas City “Businessman” Tom Pendergast who, according to Sother Teague was the guy keeping things swinging in Kansas City during Prohibition. This lead to Kansas City’s reputation as a Jazz town and the creation of bebop.
