Adapted from a recipe in Jacques Straub's 1913 Straub's Manual of Mixed Drinks. He repeats this recipe a year later in his book, simply named Drinks.

2 dashes port wine.
2 dashes Angostura bitters.

This Montana recipe is also notably included in the Cuban 1930 Club de Cantineros Manual.

Review
The influence of anisette is surprisingly subtle in this alternative to a Sweet Manhattan. If you want to make this a little drier, use a tawny rather than ruby port.
