Manhattan Transfer

Amaro takes the place of aromatic bitters and adds bitter-sweetness in this riff on a Dry Manhattan

Tried with Nolly Prat and Cynar instead of Rama, 2 dashes of orange bitters... Great!

Intense and complex layering of flavours. Outstanding interplay: the vermouth and amaro bring out the rye spice and herbal bite. On the dry side of course, but the amaro adds enough sweetness that it’s balanced. As JH says, not a light cocktail.

I keep Ramazzotti in my liquor cabinet for this cocktail, the Ragtime cocktail, Tom Macy’s Rhapsody in Rye and for its intended purpose - a tasty digestivo.

Great suggestions, Martin. Having a look at Tom Macy’s website now (sorry Simon 😜).

Worth buying a bottle of Ramazzotti just to make these. Practically perfect.

This is a great tasting Manhattan derivative. I will try it with a red vermouth next.

Remarkable. I used Averno Amaro, which is sweeter than Ramazzotti and balanced it with 2 dashes of Fee Brothers Old Fashioned bitters instead of Orange bitters. Excellent nuances. We tried it on the rocks also: It is great again.

Outstanding. Perfect for an aperitivo. Burst of flavours and decidedly dry and boozy. Not for any one looking for a mild, sweet aperitivo. Going on my favourites.
