  • I think I’d prefer either a regular Manhattan, or a Manhattan made entirely with apple brandy. This was a trifle middling to my taste.
  • So good! I used 1/2 Cocchi vermouth di Torino and 1/2 Pavan for a bit of a lighter profile (my new favorite light liqueur). — ★★★★★
  • Used 2 dashes each of bitters.
