Somewhere in the past few years I came across a variation called a Grand Manhattan which is 2 rye, .5 sweet vermouth and .5 triple sec and it’ s quite good in an orangey kind of way. Then, I expanded on that by swapping the .5 vermouth with .5 of averna and calling it a Grand Black Manhattan ( Grack Manhattan and Bland Manhattan just didn’t cut it!). Thanks for your great videos!

Just stumbled onto your channel, I had the opposite experience with a perfect Manhattan, ironically whilst in Manhattan, in a burst of enthusiasm I ordered a “perfect Manhattan” not knowing that this was a different drink than a Manhattan made perfectly… the bartender watched my quizzical expression after tasting it and sent the server over. She explained and offered a gratis replacement if this wasn’t what was expected, but I really liked it, thanked the server, the bartender, and now when I am in a fancy shamancy bar I order a perfect Manhattan and watch closely to see what they do!

Been doing a Manhattan variant from Diffords called the “High Ryeser”. Equal parts high proof Rye (100 or better) and sweet vermouth, usually Italian. 4 dashes of orange bitters, stirred down till I like where the heat settles, and strained over a fresh large cube or sphere. I’ve tried a couple different garnishes, but it usual ends up being a Amarena cherry and candied orange round. It’s a fun, albeit sweet, riff that is in regular rotation here at the home bar. That Black Manhattan is a definite try, since I already have some Averna. And the I will do the rum version as soon as I can land a bottle of the right kind of rum…

Love your channel Anders! My favorite version is the one I call "Cooperstown" as that's where I had it. A great little restaurant, Mel's at 22, down the block from the Baseball HOF served it up. I guess at the ratios, but I make it all the time now. 2 oz rye, 1 oz sweet vermouth (you could add 1.5 oz), 1/4 oz Weathertop Farm Blackberry Lavendar Shrub, 2 dashes black walnut bitters. Serve up or on the rocks with a Luxardo cherry. For rye, if I don't have my local distillery's Silk City or Muckleyeye, I get Rittenhouse or Hudson. I hope you try this. It's on the sweet side but delicious.

I was a Manhattan man for many years, and fell in love with the Boulevardier because of you, which is I guess another riff on a Manhattan. But tonight I decided to try a Black Manhattan. Except the only Amaro I had on hand was Ramazzoti. I decided "screw it" and tried it with the Ramazzoti, and wow, it's really good. I'll obviously try to buy a bottle of Averna at some point, but I will go right ahead and recommend that this drink still rocks with Ramazzoti.
