Not sure if anyone is interested in this here but if you are I would be interested in your suggestions. I am working on a non-alcoholic version of this. Here is my recipe so far. Does anyone have a different suggestion for the Cherry Heering substitution?
1 oz - Lyre's - Non-Alcoholic American Malt
1 oz - VERSIN Non-Alcoholic Vermouth Alternative
1/2 oz - Torani Cherry Syrup
1/2 oz - Beckett's '27 N/A Amaretto
1 oz - Orange Juice.
Is use the syrup from Luxardo cherries
I’m not fond of scotch whisky so I make this with rye and blood orange.
Used 30mls each agricole and light rum. I like it but I’ll use less sugar next time.
Disappointingly - it is worth juicing fresh pomegranates to make this. Disappointing because juicing pomegranates is a real faff. But definitely worth it. Fresh and delicious
Easiest way is to blend the arils and strain off the juice.
Love this Manhattan
Good, but sorrily not up to our taste because the cacao note is too dominant, although I used a quite strong Gin ("Wild Boar"). It could be interesting to replace a part of Creme de Cacao with something orangey, possibly Triple Sec and use a bit more lemon. This would naturally be a different cocktail...
I’ve replaced half the creme de cacao with passionfruit syrup. Magical.
