Cherry Manhattan

"Cherry" may be upfront in the name of this Sweet Manhattan riff but the cherry notes are far from dominant – garnish excluded

Copied JH and JF - no vanilla bitters so subbed (fancy) vanilla extract and orange bitters. Loved the play of fruity, sweet with the nuttiness of the Luxardo coming through, and the unctuous cherry Heering. I used all rye and still very discernible with the sweetness. Brilliant!

This was outstanding. Did not have the vanilla bitters so used half vanilla extract and half orange bitters. Turned out wonderful. Will definitely have again. While it is a bit sweet the Bourbon and Rye is still forward in flavour.

Adding like 10ml of a nice peated Islay Whiskey (I used Ardbeg Ten) instead of 10ml Bourbon adds extra complexity. Simply amazing drink!

Loved this idea - swapped 10ml of the American rye whiskey for talisker, 5 ml Cherry jar liquid in place of Luxardo, one dash orange bitters, 12 drops Bob’s Abbotts bitters. Might do half-half peaty scotch and rye next time!

Made as directed except for bitters. Substituted a few drop of quality vanilla extract. Highly recommended.

I'm a big fan of any Manhattan variation, but this one is far better than most! It's sweet, right, but only at first taste, then goes dryer and boozier as progresses thru mouth. Elegant yet indulgent. Did it with Maker's-Carpano AF-Bulleit-Luxardo-Heering-Bob's.

I'm going with five stars here. Tried this yesterday with Rittenhouse bottled in bond, Old Forrester Signature and Grassotti Torino; and not having vanilla bitters, added a couple drops each Bokers Bitters and grapefruit bitters.(?) Was good... Tonight, made with Sazerac Straight Rye, the Old Forrester and fruity Grassotti and a new bottle of Bittercube Cherry Bark Vanilla Bitters. Ahh what a difference that made. Was out of Cherry Heering but Luxardo Sangue Morlacco worked well.
