I can't have been the first person to do this, but it's delicious, and I'm not immediately finding it. I apologize in advance to whoever created it first.

  • I used Banhez, Citadelle, Dolin and a dash of Regan's. Pretty dry and subtle with those ingredients: enjoyable but not memorable.
  • I used a good anejo, cocci americano, and beefeater gin. The americano adds some sweetness and the smokey complex anjeo is really the star.

Good, but maybe a tad dry for my taste. A dash of orange bitters (I used Regan's) helps.

  • A fun, subtler variation on the Manhattan. I used brugal anejo and tippleman's double spiced falernum. Per the note I reduced falernum to 0.25 ts. I could really taste the wood aging in this drink though it wasn't assertive.
  • Made with Fair rum and Lustau sweet vermouth-really good — ★★★★★
  • Good, but might try with Demerara rum, or Punt e Mes instead of Carpano Antica. Or both. Something to give it bit more depth.

Wow, really tasty! Complex and rich. Used tart branded cherries to cut some of the sweetness.

Suddenly I was out of Falernum so used Benedictine instead. Still very good!

You're right. It was one of the drinks in the "5 of the Best Manhattan Variations" picture that you could glide over and it would brnig it up. A shame. Nice drink.

  • Really good. Definitely brings out the salinity and interesting notes from the Sherry. I'll be drinking this a lot.
  • not that great with cooking sherry!
  • Clean at the outset, then some interesting tastes emerge (including the saltiness of the sherry). Good drink when you want something different — ★★★★

  • Used home made cider. Approximate proportions of ingredients. The cider and gin alone taste better than the combination.

Surprisingly good, a layered and delicious punch in the best tiki tradition. I used Appleton VX (a darker Jamaican would have been more traditional) and Don Q Añejo, increased the lime to 3/4 oz, and omitted the simple.
