  • Excellent use of dry sherry. I used fino, which doesn't always play well with other ingredients. Can be a bit briny. But here it works really nicely with both the sweetness in the bourbon and the bitterness in the Ramazzotti. 4.5 if I could.
  • I agree with other user - very clean, citrusy, almost metallic despite having bourbon. Don't skimp on the essential lemon oils! Delightful!
  • Hard to describe taste: I want to say "clean," almost like the water I'd drink from the garden hose as a kid. Metal, citrusy, and bitter on the edges, but easy drinking. — ★★★★

Added attribution and slightly reformatted to our style guidelines. Thank you alphanumeric. I need to revisit this Manhattan-esque again!

Enjoyed a super tasty variation with Averna instead of Ramazotti and 1/4oz Orancio vermouth instead of triple sec (alt ways to get hint of orange and balance sweetness). Really nice

Made this tonight with Amaro Montenegro and it was delightful.

I made your chocolate cake with strawberry instead of chocolate. Scrumptious!
