Underwhelmed at first but enjoyed it more as it warmed up a little. The chocolate didn't come through nearly as much when it was cold which meant the maraschino was a little too dominating. Very nice manhattan variation once everything came through.

I ran out of whiskey so I made this with cognac instead for a nice simple variation. Afterwards I made another addition - adding 1 fl oz of cream and an amarena cherry for a delightful dessert cocktail (shaken). More of a variation of a Brandy Alexander, but still delightful.

Wonderful chocolate manhattan for Easter. A new favourite! We used rye.

I can't believe I haven't had this one before, or maybe I did years ago and didn't comment. But, Simon, this is TOO delicious! What have you done? 😁

Thanks, Kevin. I must revisit. Seems appropriate Manhattan for an Easter weekend.

Used Antica and my new Sirene Chocolate liqueur from Sheringham distillery in Victoria, B.C., and Scrappy's chocolate bitters. Dang, this is an excellent drink. It's like a decadent after-dinner drink but not overly sweet and still a Manhattan at heart.

Used Antica and enjoyed with 90% cocoa dark chocolate. At first seemed a bit too dry but more balanced sip by sip. Thanks for this variation.

Having this as our aperitif on Easter. Wonderful hints of cocoa and cherry. Light herbal and smoky taste from the bourbon. Wonderful. Had with prosciutto and gruyere in puff pastry
Thanks Simon, you added to our Easter celebration.
