Black Manhattan
by The Webmaster
Serves: 1 person. Preparation time: 3 minutes.
- 2 oz. Rye Whiskey
- 1 oz. Averna Amaro
- 1 Dash Angostura Aromatic Bitters
- 1 Dash Angostura Orange Bitters
- 2 Brandied Cherries (for garnish)
In a mixing tumbler with some ice, add all the liquid ingredients and stir well until cold.
Strain into a chilled Coupe or Martini glass.
Pierce both Cherries with a long stick and lay across the rim of the glass.
”Amaro” - Amaro is a Sicilian herbaceous version of Italian Sweet Vermouth. Together with the Rye Whiskey, at 2:1, it makes a darker Manhattan with a unique smooth flavor. The cocktail can also be served "On The Rock" in an Old Fashion glass with ice cubes.
