Black Manhattan
🥃 Serve in: Coupe Glass
Amaro Montenegro swaps in for sweet vermouth here, paired with rye whiskey and two kinds of bitters for real bittersweet, herbal complexity that plain vermouth can't match. The result is a darker, more intense drink than the original Manhattan. Popularized in the 2000s craft cocktail revival, it's become a modern classic in its own right. Stirred and served up, a great option for Manhattan drinkers looking for something with more edge.
