The Black Manhattan is a modern twist on the classic Manhattan formula by Todd Smith from San Francisco back to 2005 while working at Bourbon & Branch. Creating this darker, heavier, bittersweet variation.
To make the Black Manhattan you basically switch out the Sweet Vermouth of the classic Manhattan recipe for amaro. If you want to be true to Todd’s creation you use Averna for the Amaro, but much like choosing your preferred vermouth in a classic Manhattan, use what you like to drink.
