Review

This particular Young Man is essentially a cognac-based Sweet Manhattan with a splash of orange curaçao. I've used rather more curaçao than the "2 Dashes" specified in Craddock's 1930 The Savoy Cocktail Book.

A decent young man indeed. Quite rich, with a ribbon of aromatic orange.

I thought this was great, and the angostura provides some spice that really brings this drink alive

Great after dinner. Not as sweet as I was anticipating from the description. Flavours blend well together. Upfront with the cognac and with the orange at the end.
