A great Manhattan, but the apricot is lost... 6:2:1 blend resulted in the best expression of each ingredient... Pleased to have an unexpectedly spectacular use for apricot liqueur. When it works, oh my does it work.

Agreed! I've adopted your 6:2:1 recipe. Many thanks!

Flawless. Probably the best version of a Manhattan I've tried so far. YUM.

Note to self: make 1.5 servings for two of us. Extremely boozy but exceptionally delicious.

Awesome cocktail. Made mine with Sazerac 90 proof, added 10% more.

The flavours blend together perfectly. It has a slightly spicy taste which is very interesting. We did not have the Punt E Mes, but substituted sweet vermouth and Luxardo Aperitivo. I would do this again as an aperitif or after-dinner drink.

I'd suggest Cynar with the sweet vermouth.

Sorry. Punt E Mes substitution was 2 parts red sweet vermouth to 1 part Luxardo Aperitivo.
