We built the Black Manhattan and the Rum Manhattan. Then, we did a Rum Manhattan using Amaro instead, a Black Rum Manhattan? Loved them all.

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!

That sounds good! I think I need a bit more sweetness in a Manhatten!

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!

Might try a perfect rum variant.

Way to ROCK the Giltee Wisco sweatshirt, Az!!!! 🟥🟦🟨

The Black Manhattan is my fave from these

Don’t forget the Makers Mark Manhattan. Always a favorite 🤩

I don't know what it's called, but substituting the vermouth with Jager is a really fun one to try!

Love that Wisco sweatshirt! -MKE Native

I love the classic Manhattan. And I love the black Manhattan. And a few days ago, I made a Rum Manhattan, without even knowing there was one. And now I love the rum Manhattan too.

Mmmmmmm, I think I have found my new favorite Manhattan, the Perfect Manhattan. The two Vermouth I used are very botanical (Ransom) and I like the different flavors that appear.

Best Manhattan riff is a death rattle create by Rene nyugen at Hanson Shoe Repair in Orlando. Smith and cross rum, Benedictine, punt E mes, xocolatl mole bitters, pernod

Great video as always , informative and entertaining!!

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…

17 secs ago? Now that’s a fresh video drop. Thanks Anders!

Perfect timing. Thanks for tuning in!

Over the holidays I like to add a barspoon of Allspice Liqueur for a more festive Manhattan.

So fun!!

I just had one called The Sean. Bulleit bourbon,Grand Marnier,dry vermouth, bitters,and cherry. I recreated it using 2 Oz.rye and half GM and half dry vermouth and three dashes of Angostura bitters. I’m going to try the rum manhattan.

Great collection for the weekend

Amazing video! Thanks for the inspiration!

I couldn't (or didn't want to) pick one so of course I made all three. The Black Manhattan is my fav.

Fantastic!!!!

I like them with an Irish Whiskey sometimes. Bushmills Prohibition and Red Breast 12.

That Rum Manhattan is the Bomb ! Cheers !

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.

Looking forward to these! Especially the Demerara rum version.

During the holiday season I've been a real fan of what I call a Christmas Manhattan, rather than an ounce of sweet vermouth I half it with a chocolate liquor. What a festive treat!

Have you tried the new Bailey’s chocolate liqueur? It comes in a dark blue bottle and came to stores just a few weeks ago.

The rum Manhattan looks tasty!

You two are awesome.

I love a Greenpoint which some say is a Brooklyn Variation but it’s essentially a Manhattan variation made by the legendary Michael Mcilroy.

Always been a big fan of the rum Manhattan, great video!

You need to try a "Dry Manhattan". My dad drank one and only one every night after dinner. Bourbon, dry vermouth and 2 large green olives. Very good! I think I'll have one...

So excited to try the rum manhattan!

I'm gonna try the Rum Manhattan for sure! Loved the video by the way

Love you Anders ❤

Just made the rum one. OMG. I had a bottle of El Dorado gathering dust - won’t be around much longer now!! The PERFECT cigar accompaniment.

Fun video. Enjoyable. cheers

Black Manhattan is my favorite! I've never had it with expressed lemon, tho. Always cherry or orange. Or both!

will try the rum one...seems lovely and refreshing

Love the Wisco sweatshirt!

ANDERS!!! Great video!!! After all these years, I STILL haven't tried a Black Manhattan!! That WILL change!!! I love Cocchi de Torino!!! CHEERS!!!

I love a good Manhattan. I’ll definitely be trying the rum variation.

I love a Black Rye Manhattan with a zippy amaro from Philadelphia, or one made perfect with green chartreuse. Great drink platform.

Man, these look delicious. Can't wait to make these tomorrow 🍸 😋

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.

Black Manhattan with Amaro Nonino is really nice.

Watching this while sipping a mezcal negroni... Looking forward to seeing what's next!

I need to try the Rum Manhattan 🥰🥰🥰. Great video as always 👍🙏.

I ended up making the rum Manhattan today. Really tasty! Thanks for letting me know this drink exists.

I usually dont like Manhattans, but these riffs are all good. I sit here having the rum Manhattan and it is amazing. I would definitely use the El Dorado rum and the Cocchi sweet vermouth that Anders suggests. Although I have swapped the El Dorado for Zacapa 23 on occasion and it is also great.

I want to try all of them but really looking forward to trying the rum one 😊

The rum Manhattan was published in the Savoy Cocktail Book as the Palmetto

My grandma June, who lived in Chicago her entire life, only drank one cocktail and it was a sweet brandy Manhattan.

Next up Old Fashioned riffs??? You two are the best!!! Cheers!!!!

the rum manhattan is awesome and might be pushing the shrunken skull and dark daiquiri as my favorite rum drink

I once got a Manhattan where the bartender asked if she could surprise me on the rye. She used Templeton Rye, and I’ve loved it for my Manhattans ever since.

Totally agree about the blanc vermouth it’s my go to for Negronis

My fav - Vieuxe Carre, but I wouldn't turn down any of the others. My least favorite - Black, but that is so amaro dependent. My rum Manhattan: 1.5oz Jamaican rum (light to med funky), 0.5oz Goslings dark, 1oz Cocchi, 3 dash each Angustura and Angostura orange, stir, and then 2 dashes Walnut bitters and cherry at the end.

Great video.. gonna make my self one tomorrow, you pick

Watched this video this afternoon & just made myself the Rum Manhattan (had to use 5-year aged Plantation rum since no demerara in the house)…OMG! Oz, no wonder your face lit up when you tasted it. YUM

Trying the rum Manhattan this weekend!!

Your Black Manhattan is my favorite. I enjoy one before dinner.

Thanks Anders! Your videos are always fun. Sometime, I'll do a Manhattan, Kansas (the Little Apple), which is 2 onces of sweet vermouth and 1 once of rye, with a couple dashes of bitters and a cherry. Not as good as the orig, but a little less strong.

I've been making my black manhattans with Amaro dell Etna instead of Averna and with the addition of Woodford Reserve Barrel Aged Spiced Cherry Bitters (same amount as other two bitters) and it is my current favorite

What a topical video today, Anders! I got some bourbon for my bday and am tryna get rid of my vermouth before it gets old!

Tried the Black Manhattan. Very good - don’t think I’ve had amaro before. Works well with the rye! Thank you for the recipes - perfect on this fall day with a fire pit!

Yet another great video, and, yes, please keep including Az for her opinions. Since you asked, I'm going to try a Rum Manhattan tonight! Can't wait. I'll be using Kraken since that's the closest rum I have to what you were using.

You should come up with a drink called a "Wisco Sour." Some sort of Pisco Sour/Whiskey sour/Wisconsin Old Fashioned mash-up. Az's sweatshirt obviously gave me the idea. Maybe one already exists... Who know's? I ain't no expert.

The Brooklyn is still my favorite Manhattan variation but I’m going to try the rum one and see how I like. Thanks for another great video and recipe.

I love a perfect Manhattan already, but I deff need to try that rum Manhattan. It looks quite tasty.

Did a perfect with Antica and Lillet Blanc (cause those were in my fridge), twist,up. I’d definitely go there again. Thanks for the video, as always.

I still have the demerara rum from the Queens Park Swizzle video. A rum Manhattan will be on the short lists. Awesome video, as always!

Okay, I'm sold! I'll be trying the rum manhattan this week. The old fashioned has been my go-to drink, so this is a no-brainer.

TGIF new anders video!

Very nice please keep Oz in all your video's. Thanks for all you do

I've been making mahnattans with punt e mes because i like black manhattans but ran out of averna. Pretty good

As a huge fan of Demerara rum, I'll be trying the rum Manhattan for sure.

Love your videos man! Keep it up! Would be really cool if you could make a video/videos where you talk about substitutes😇 and maybe make some of the „substitute“ cocktails (?)😁🍻

Hi Anders! Really enjoying your videos and always appreciated you behind the bar at Ward Eight. Question…do you make your own mixing/shaking ice? If so, what mold and method are you using? Those are some sexy cubes! Thanks!

I’m definitely making the Rum Manhattan tomorrow! My go to is normally Classic. It’s also my favorite cocktail.

Oz, THAT! Wisco shirt!

The Manhattan is one of my favorite autumn cocktails. I just made the perfect Manhattan last week for the first time, but used bourbon instead of Rye. It was delicious! Cheers, Anders!

Seem like excellent recipes, I’ll definitely have to give the rum variation a go! And FYI, the Black Manhattan is labelled as a Perfect Manhattan in the video description, so you might want to change it 🙂

Try a death rattle. Best rum Manhattan

Definitely going to try the rum Manhattan tonight! And where does one get a WISCO sweatshirt?

I will absolutely have to try the rum version. I am a whiskey guy typically but recently have been exploring (and enjoying) dark rums.

I do cocktail nights during the year at our coffee shop in the UK, and I LOVE your videos! They really inspire me. My husband and I love watching your videos - he walked by while I was watching and stopped for the Rum Manhattan, so I guess that's going to be our next date night drink! Btw Oz is super cute too and your chemistry is so great! xx

Woah. I don’t love rum, and that’s an understatement. But that rum manhattan is delicious. I think I might have changed my mind on the spirit after that.

Inspired by this, I had a "Rum Manhattan" yesterday evening; went "Oh yeah" just like Az did 😊 will be definetely an new "standard" now at my home bar!

The Black Manhattan is my favourite version, glad to see it here.
