The whole cartoon about "martini - gin + whiskey" cartoon isn't great, as "cocktail" really is the best answer it could give. (A manhattan would also have to switch from dry vermouth to sweet vermouth, and change the garnish from an olive or lemon peel to a cherry, and traditionally it would not use just any whiskey, but use rye specifically.)
