I had it as the original recipe and after, the Educated Barfly's spec (reduced the rye to 67.5ml). Really potent and intense variation of the Manhattan. The slug of apricot liqueur really makes it wonderful. I will say that in spite of my wet palate though, I still prefer the original Manhattan just that bit more, not sure why.

Tempted to think of this is as the Manhattan to have when you’ve only got rye to hand. For me the bittersweet/dry profile was pretty much identical to a Manhattan. Used Woodford reserve rye this evening, Bitter Truth aromatic bitters, de Kuyper apricot. Absolutely delicious.
