I just tried this way too many times, adjusting the specs with each turn. The best ratio for me was a classic 2:1 - 60 ml whiskey (101 proof), 20 ml amaretto, 10 ml dry vermouth. That tasted like a Manhattan.

I feel like this should be higher than a 7 on the Boozy/Gentle scale? At least an 8, imho. (It is 2 standard drinks, after all, with all 4 ingredients containing alcohol.)

I’ve been trying to find the perfect balance for a Manhattan for ages and this has hit the nail on the head! Just the right amount of vermouth, and with the addition of a subtle amount of Amaretto, it is just perfect. Thank you :-)

This is a very delicious cocktail. I love a good Manhattan and this one takes the standard to new highs.

This was outstanding as an evening sipper with some Amaretto flavoured bread pudding. The forward taste of the whiskey and the hint of almond was perfect. Slightly sweet but perfect in the evening after a nice supper.

A delightful cocktail. I prefer it with Russells Reserve Kentucky Bourbon (90 proof) and a slice of orange - simply delicious.
