Ruby Manhattan

Rye whiskey with a touch of apricot and grape fruitiness served short, dry and strong. A delicious nightcap

Heat from the rye is moderated pleasantly by the sweetness of the port and liqueur, and the apricot flavor is clearly present but not overbearing. A nice Manhattan variant.

I opened a bottle of Tawny Port and was looking for a cocktail to stir; landed on this one as the ingredients looked like a list of my favorite things. And it's perfect. 5 stars+

Perfectly balanced. Go easy with the built in dasher on the Peychaud bottle. I definitely got too much for my two dashes. On the dry side, rich, intense and fruity. Even a little smokey in character.

The orange twist is important in providing a relieving lift here.

I'm confused... it's called the "Ruby Manhattan", but then uses tawny rather than ruby port.

I assume referring to the colour. The tawny port definitely works.

Not a Manhattan fan, but this alone may make me say otherwise.

Have you tried the cherry Manhattan? Especially if your tastes extend to sweet things.

Of all the Manhattan variations I have tried. This is the best for my taste. Not overly sweet and perfectly balanced.

Ah, but with the apricot liqueur, you can also have the related (and delicious) Sunset Park. Or just add a dash to a nice martini.

Good looking. Apricot Jammy without being overly sweet. Decent drink deserving more reviews. I liked it.
