Reviews
This was so good! Used regular bitters. Delish!!!
I used Amaro Nonino and Rye, and I did find and use lavender bitters (which I highly recommend finding.) I garnished with a Luxardo cherry. This is, by far, the most amazing upscale Manhattan I have every had. This is my go-to cocktail for times I want to celebrate! This cocktail is rich, sophisticated, luxurious and absolutely delicious. The Amaro Nonino I used is on the expensive side, but a splurge worth it for special occasions.
What type of Amaro did he use? I used Braulio Amaro and it was very good. I didn’t have Lavender bitters but substituted Pear Bitters instead. I’m a big bourbon drinker, so this is perfect alternative to a Manhattan. Can’t wait to make it again!
