Heering through the grapevine
This Manhattan riff has a split base - rye to complement the cherry flavor and add a bit of spice, and gin, to bring a little bit of herbaceous and juniper...

Very complex and tasty! Absinthe is quite prominent - I recommend dialing back the recipe to 1 dash vs. 2. Even so, you get the absinthe, gin, a bit of rye spice and cherry fruitiness (and I can't find any chocolate). A nice translucent, slightly reddish brown. Very complex and interesting.
