1 oz Madeira, Blandy's (10-year Bual, "medium-rich")
Instructions

Stir ingredients over ice. Serve up in a chilled coupe.

Notes

"Colonial American" variation on the Manhattan, with the spirit base split between Maryland rye and 100-proof apple brandy, and bual madeira replacing Italian vermouth. Pimento Dram rounds it out, taking the place of bitters. Named in honor of the winter 1776-77 campaign of the American War for Independence.
