Black Manhattan Recipe ​

Introduction​

Hey cocktail enthusiasts! I just mixed up a Black Manhattan, and I’m thrilled to share it with you. This twist on the classic Manhattan replaces sweet vermouth with amaro, bringing a deeper, richer flavor profile to the drink. Perfect for a sophisticated evening or when you want to impress your guests with something a little different. Let’s dive into this elegant concoction!

Ingredients​

• 2 oz (60 ml) rye whiskey or bourbon
• 1 oz (30 ml) amaro (Averna or Montenegro)
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters
• 1 dash orange bitters
• Garnish: Luxardo cherry or a lemon twist

Procedure​

1. Chill the Glass: Place a coupe or martini glass in the freezer to chill.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing glass, combine the rye whiskey, amaro, Angostura bitters, and orange bitters.
3. Add Ice: Fill the mixing glass with ice cubes.
4. Stir: Stir the mixture with a bar spoon for about 30 seconds until well-chilled.
5. Strain: Remove your chilled glass from the freezer and strain the cocktail into it using a julep strainer.
6. Garnish: Drop in a Luxardo cherry or garnish with a lemon twist.

Conclusion​

There you have it—a Black Manhattan that's as smooth and sophisticated as it is delicious. I love how the amaro adds complexity and depth, making this drink a standout. It’s perfect for sipping and savoring. Enjoy responsibly and happy mixing!
