Review:

Arguably with Manhattan-on-the-rocks foundations, this simple three-ingredient cocktail stands out as being spirit-forward yet approachable. (I know it's sacrilege, but shake this cocktail and it becomes dangerously quaffable.)

Made this with Lillet Rouge, shaken, not stirred. Despite the Montenegro it comes across as a bit lighter and less complex than a Manhattan so I thought it needed a little something more. A bourbon drink named for Blanche DuBois cries out for a couple dashes of Peychaud's Bitters, and that did the trick.
