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

Shawn C commented on 1/10/2024:

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.

bkemp1984 commented on 3/31/2024:

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.

Kindred Cocktails commented on 1/11/2015:

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.
