In recent times I've grown less fond of the standard Manhattan because most sweet vermouths seem to taste overly medicinal and herbal. Then someone told me about the Black Manhattan, which replaces the vermouth with the Italian Averna amaro. To me it tastes richer and smoother, with hints of liquorice and caramel.
Black Manhattan
2 oz rye whiskey
1 oz Averna amaro
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash orange bitters
A maraschino cherry to garnish
Stir the ingredients with ice and strain into a chilled Nick and Nora glass. Drop in the cherry.
