Such a beautifully balanced and richly complex cocktail. Instead of the Muscat, we use a Rutherglen Old Vine Muscadelle (Chambers Rosewood Vineyards - ranked among the top 100 wines of Australia and remarkably reasonably priced). We probably drink more Sweet Manhattans than any other variant but when we want to go 'tuxedo' this is the one.
