This cocktail is really special. I drank it very slowly and it evolved like a good wine although it has no ice cube inside. It contains single strong flavors wich blend perfectly to create something new. Also the coffee beans evolved a light scent during the time. Wow!!

Lustau instead of Carpano is sweeter, so I made the cocktail without sugar syrup. Thank you for the idea with mole bitters.

Great cocktail and perfect before dinner. Did not have the bitters, so we used one of our personal favourite substitutions - 2 sprays of absinthe. The flavours added by the absinthe was wonderful.

Very nice Manhattan variation, like a Red Hook with tequila. However, I find it too sweet with the sugar syrup and more balanced without. Could be my vermouth (Martini rubino), but I don't think that's really overly sweet.

My good friend David recommended this delicious cocktail, which is truly a great tequila cocktail. I used mole bitters which works amazing with the coffee bean and citrus garnish. Sweet and boozy. Makes a delicious after dinner drink.

Outstanding!
Made a couple of great substitutions: mole bitters instead of the obscure whiskey ones and agave syrup instead of sugar syrup.
Wonderful tequila base enhanced by the complexity and vanilla of Carpano Antica and subtle maraschino. The mole bitters and agave are a terrific Mexican twist to play off of the tequila.

Thank you for featuring this on your Insta - just had to try and its delicious!

I always use Antica Formula for my Manhattans. This is however so much more than a Manhattan variation with Tequila replacing whiskey, it is an excellent drink with dignity of its own. Five stars!
