Review

A Manhattan-like cocktail, originally served straight-up but is perhaps best-appreciated on-the-rock(s).

I just used Sazerac rye, which has a low-rye mashbill, and man was this great. will definitely be coming back to this one.

Not a huge bourbon drinker, but this is really a very good cocktail. Balance is absolutely perfect.

I made two variations. One original (with rye whiskey foundation ) and one per this recipe (with bourbon as foundation). Definitely prefer the original recipe — spiciness of rye mixes well with sweetness and herbal notes of other ingredients. Bourbon version was too sweet.

Astonishingly bad. Doesn't work at all.
