  • A fun, subtler variation on the Manhattan. I used brugal anejo and tippleman's double spiced falernum. Per the note I reduced falernum to 0.25 ts. I could really taste the wood aging in this drink though it wasn't assertive.
  • Made with Fair rum and Lustau sweet vermouth-really good — ★★★★★
  • Good, but might try with Demerara rum, or Punt e Mes instead of Carpano Antica. Or both. Something to give it bit more depth.

Wow, really tasty! Complex and rich. Used tart branded cherries to cut some of the sweetness.

Suddenly I was out of Falernum so used Benedictine instead. Still very good!
