Manhattan Midnight
Averna Amaro replaces the Sweet Vermouth in this traditional Manhattan drink. Upgrading the typically-used Maraschino cherry for a Luxardo cherry full of vanilla and spice notes makes this a refined adult cocktail.

Instructions
In a cocktail shaker, combine 2 dashes of angostura bitters, Sweet Vermouth, and bourbon. Stir briefly. Add several ice cubes and stir again for 20 to 30 seconds. Strain over a manhattan or martini glass. Garnish with a Luxardo Cherry. Serve.
Notes
*Luxardo cherries are a thicker, darker Italian cherry with an almond, fruit-forward flavor. They are the maraschino cherry’s more refined elegant cousin Purchase them in beverage stores, online, or specialty food stores. If you cannot find Luxardo Cherries, substitute with Stonewall Kitchen’s Bada Bing Cherries.
