  • Replaced razmotti with Dillon's black walnut Amaro
  • Maybe a hair more chartreuse next time
  • Would give 4.5 if I could. Very solid bourbon cocktail manhattan variant; agree with above comments that there is room to tweak with bitters.
  • Promising. Room for bitters as well.
  • Enjoyable boozy cocktail for any time of year.
  • Made with Bulleit 10 year. Very good - I might add some non-potable bitters as well. 4.5
  • Another nice thing to do with Bourbon. Might tweak up the bitter components a bit

Comments

To me this is just a slightly more herbal/complex Manhattan, which might be great if I loved Manhattans. I mean, it's good, but not great. Whatevs, I'd drink it again before I'd drink a regular Manhattan.
