My favorite Manhattan is 2:1 whiskey to vermouth, with a barspoon of syrup from the cherry jar. After trying this, it's similar, but I think I prefer the cherry syrup to Cherry Heering. The absinthe does add a little extra zing, but I think I prefer angostura bitters too. This one's worth a try, but it's not going to replace my favorite.
