This is a bit on the sweeter side as Manhattans go.  Q changed the name from the Employees Only Manhattan, to the Locals Only Manhattan.  We're assuming that the Employees Only is a reference to the famous Employees Only Speak Easy in New York.  Not sure if it is still on Netflix, but there was a documentary on there called Hey Bartender, about the bartenders at Employees only.  Worth checking out if you are so inclined.

Note: Adjust the line/ginger according to the sweetness of the rum/ginger beer.

It may be a bit of a stretch, but Bryan likes this simple cocktail, and things are "Dark and Stormy" for America, Manhattan, and the characters in DMZ.
