black manhattan

Combine chocolatey, mocha flavor notes from Foro amaro with Michter’s rye and sit back for a smooth and velvety ride. The combination of Michter’s rye, smooth, yet complex, and Foro amaro are a magical match. Add a little bit of sassafras and sorghum and chocolate bitters and you’re done.

Best Black Manhattan

oz Michter’s rye

oz Foro amaro

Sorghum and Sassafras bitters

chocolate bitters

orange peel and star anise

Combine rye, amaro and bitters in a mixing glass. Add ice and stir until well chilled and diluted. Strain into a chilled coupe and garnish with expressed orange peel and a whole star anise. Try to sip slowly.

Try the Black Manhattan cocktail! This recipe swaps in Italian amaro for a drink that's even more sophisticated—and tasty—than the original. 

Black Manhattan

(4 tablespoons) bourbon or rye whiskey

(2 tablespoons) Italian amaro,

Angostura bitters

orange bitters

For the garnish: Cocktail cherry or Luxardo cherry

Combine the whiskey, amaro and bitters in a cocktail mixing glass (or any other type of glass). Fill the mixing glass with 1 handful ice and stir continuously for 30 seconds.

Strain into a coupe or cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry and serve.

I love Black Manhattans and only a few bartenders know how to mix one. So I decided to try your recipe and it is delicious, easy too. I used Redemption rye whiskey. Very very good drink!! If I can mix anyone can.

This was so so yummy! The Averna Amaro really made the difference!

I made one with Buffalo Trace bourbon and another with Rittenhouse Rye.. Both were great but the added spice of the rye gave it a bit more zing!

Drinking a Black Manhattan right now.  Once i tried one (a year ago!) i never looked back. So much more better (!!) than a regular Hattie which i used to love.

I love all your recipes, including your cocktails!  My husband makes great Manhattans, and we can't wait to try this one!  Thanks.  (I make my own brandied cherries when cherries are in season and make a big batch to last through the winter.  Maybe I should keep some Luxardo cherries on hand, as well!) ~Jan

nice! I am going to try this with Basil Hayden dark rye and Mr Black's cold brew coffee Amaro adding some Aztec chocolate bitters.. I am confident enough in the flavor to give this 5 stars before even making it!

definitely check out the Mr Black Amaro, limited release twice a year, really good in coffee liqueur drinks, straight up or even just a splash into some cola!

Re your recipe for a Black Manhattan: I used barolo chinato instead of the vermouth, and, of course, burbon.   Please try it, works well for me.
Oh, regarding having a jar of luxardo cherries in the fridge....that's a no-no!
The label states "do not refrigerate after opening"
Cheers.
