The rye holds up well to all the sweet and bitter components. Very enjoyable.

Returning to this, we decided to serve it straight up in a Nick and Nora glass. We think it fits snugly therein, the glass complements the elegance of the drink and dilution from melting ice is best avoided here.

I had an idea this would be yummy, but it was even more delicious than I expected. This has gone up to my top favorites list and might become my favorite way to enjoy Aperol and maybe even rye!

Whether you are looking for a Manhattan or an old fashioned riff, this has you covered. It might also be the very first drink I’ve had that was improved by smoking.
