I used a fairly robust vermouth (Discarded) and upped the standard 35% Southern Comfort by a heavy 5ml. If you have a bottle of Southern Comfort lurking amongst your drinks collection it’s a nice way of using it up!

Lovely drink. I backed both the Southern Comfort and vermouth down to ¾ oz each.

I've followed your lead and reduced to 2/3rds oz of each. Thanks for the feedback.

Just not as good as other Manhattan's, if anything, I would say this is the furthest from a true Manhattan that I've had. I think if you hadn't had a Manhattan before it wouldn't be too bad though. Definitely worth a try.
