How to make:

STIR all ingredients with ice and fine strain into chilled glass.

Garnish:

Dried apricot on rim or Luxardo Maraschino cherry

Comment:

Stirred, strong and boozy - Manhattan/Brooklyn-like. Rye whisky-based with aromatised wine complexity and apricot brandy adding a touch of fruity sweetness. This riff on a Manhattan is a late night sipper.

Created in 2009 by Julie Reiner at Clover Club in New York City, USA.
