Reverse Cocktails

One of the trends sweeping the on-sale trade is Reverse Cocktails. What's a reverse cocktail? It's made by reversing the ingredient proportions. A Reverse Manhattan is 2 parts Sweet Vermouth, one part Rye; a Reverse Martini is 2 parts Dry Vermouth, one part Gin. The cocktails have a flavor profile very similar to the original; with much lower alcohol.
