This is a great cocktail to kick off the holiday season. When the weather changes from Summer to Fall, you find yourself craving a bolder cocktail with richer flavor. Here's a popular variation of the Manhattan Cocktail that works perfectly. It's called the Black Manhattan. You are essentially swapping out Sweet Vermouth for Averna, which is a Sicilian liqueur.
Ingredients:
2 ounces Bourbon or Rye Whiskey
1 ounce Averna amaro
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash Orange bitters
Garnish: brandied cherry
Steps
Pour the bourbon or rye whiskey, Averna, Angostura bitters and orange bitters into a mixing glass with ice and stir until well-chilled.
Strain into a chilled cocktail glass.
Garnish with a brandied cherry.
