21 Apr 2022: Black Manhattan

My Dad used to enjoy a Manhattan and I recently got to taste one as well. This Manhattan though is just a little different. It uses Averna amaro which has a wonderful vanilla essence and a dash or Orange bitters. Dark and just a little sweet.

Ingredients

• 2 ounces rye whiskey

• 1 ounce Averna amaro

• 1 dash Angostura bitters

• 1 dash orange bitters

• Garnish: brandied cherry

Add the rye, Averna, Angostura and orange bitters to a mixing glass. Add ice, stir until well-chilled, and serve UP (chill that glass ahead of time), garnished with a brandied cherry.
