I'm just wondering is there any cocktails that are synonymous to Detroit?

Yup, Hummer, Bull Shot, Last Word, etc.
No clue on famous but a close friend swears the best bloody mary he ever had was at a local dive and was made with beer not vodka????
I don't know about a signature, but there are a few bars in downtown that make a great Manhattan. Roast has a decent one, but Firebird Tavern in Greektown has a fantastic one, plus they have a few other really good drinks. Definitely worth checking out.
Not technically an Alcoholic drink, but the Boston Cooler [[Vanilla Ice Cream dipped in Vernors) is from Detroit.
There is cold duck which is a mixture of wines.

I mix Grass Widow Bourbon from Two James in Corktown with Vernors. Its a tasty tipple. I call it a Detroit Car Jack. Probably needs a more user friendly name.
Molotov cocktail.
Back in my teens we used to buy a 2 liter of Vernors and a pint of Canadian Club mix em together before heading off to Boblo for the day. We would call it River Water as it came from both sides of our pond.
In my teen years we would go to Canada on Saturday nights due to drinking laws. Their was a big sign just off the bridge that read "Drink Canada Dry".
We did our best to try!
