A modern classic, invented in 2015, the Black Manhattan ups the ante by swapping out vermouth for Amaro Averna, an Sicilian digestif that clocks in at 29% ABV. Trinity Bitters adds the requisite Orange and Aromatic bitters, and Cherry Bark Vanilla, the third in the blend, adds a woodsy dryness which helps to further balance this punchy behemoth.
Method:
- Add all of the ingredients to a stirring vessel and then fill with ice.
- Stir with a bar spoon until chilled and strain into a cocktail glass.
- For a low ABV variation, use N/A whiskey.
*To smoke a glass and impart a robust cedar aroma, ignite a Bittercube cocktail cedar, then invert a glass over the flame to fill with the smoke. Place an inverted glass and a cedar on a plate or flame-resistant surface until the cocktail is ready to strain into the glass.
