Alaska improved with dry vermouth, very nice. I've seen this on a menu with Dolin Blanc for Dry Vermouth, under the name "Vandelay Industries" which comes off a bit too sweet still.

  • Made it with Beefeater 24; tweaked the ratios in some unknown manner.
  • Nice flavor profile but too similar to cherry cough syrup for most people in/before my generation

Minor curation; changed 'PTD' to 'PDT' in the reference.

I am quite fond of this one having made it several times with some cheap DeKuyper Kirschwasser in an old bottle I have. I usually don't care for Kirschwasser cocktails, but the flavor is just right here. I haven't even tried the better Kirschwasser in this one yet.

Did not like very much at all with New Liberty's American Picon instead of CioCiaro, which I've never had. Next time split that 1.2 of CiaCiaro into 1/3 American Picon, 1/3 PF curacao, and 1/3 Seville orange bitters. Liked much better, even if it's probably pretty different than the recipe.

  • A perfect Manhattan variant!
  • MC liked — ★★★★
  • Halfway between a negroni and a Manhattan. — ★★★★
  • Likable Manhattan variant, with a cherry-cola cast.
  • A solid variation on the classic Manhatten. The Averna and Campari add a nice subtle bitterness and complexity that nicely compliments the rye.

Curated to add attribution, edit history to avoid copyright issues, and rewrite instructions to KC style guidelines. While this cocktail is not that different from other amaro-based Manhattan variations, it seems to be widely enough known to warrant inclusion in Kindred Cocktails. Thanks for the submission.
