Here’s another Manhattan riff from the team at Liquor.com. The Longshoreman drops the Angostura bitters and adds Averna Amaro from Sicily. The update is a welcome one as Averna Amaro is a wonderful sipper all on its own. The slightly sweet, slightly bitter herbal notes from the Averna coupled with the raisin-forward syrupy Punt e Mes cuts through and tames the 100 proof spicy-sweet rye whiskey just enough to balance everything out. I like this riff on my old favorite the Manhattan… and I think you will too!

With the temperature dropping in late Fall, I turn to amaro as a regular sipper – it just seems so right. And tonight’s cocktail features Amaro Montenegro, a unique amaro with loads of herbaceous flavors and perfect hint of sweetness. This amaro shines when paired with whiskey and really pops with tonight’s rye. This beauty is mainly amaro – whiskey plays a supporting role – and these two are well-matched like Bogie and Bacall, Nikc and Nora, Fred and Ginger, and a host of other famous pairings. So, don’t be bashful, mix up this interesting and unique cocktail with your favorite half and make your pairing as special as those aforementioned couples! Save Print Full Monte Prep time: 5 mins…
