a Black Manhattan is a different (faddish) animal, with Amaro instead of vermouth, which is a bit of a mixed bag because last year about this time when I learned of them, people descended on a party with 3 varieties of Amaro and some were awful, one was interesting. Do you think I can remember which was the good one? I cannot. But there's most of a fifth of this one in our cabinet now.

I seriously need to come drink with you all ... er visit ... lol

I just used "regular" sweet vermouth, bourbon and black walnut bitters.

Don't think I've tried that one. I usually keep quiet around cocktail geeks but I'm not a big Manhattan fan. Mainly because I'm not a big vermouth fan

I may have told you about trying to hide an empty bottle in the attic of my barracks in basic training and falling through the ceiling. True story. I got in a lot of trouble that day for sure.
Anyhow I doubt it was anything resembling mezcal. It was El Toro. The cap was a little red sombrero. All I can say is beware. In every direction. LOL. {#Wink}

Yes, I think you did tell me this story. And I believe you shared some El Toro as well. {#Drunk}
