When a brand sends you a bottle of rye, your first drink must be a Manhattan, right? For this one I wanted something dark and slightly spooky as the temps get cooler, nearing October. This riff on the Manhattan has spice from the rye, more spice, chocolate notes, pepper and stone fruits from the bitters, complexity, and sweetness from the vermouth and creme de cacao with a lingering chocolate finish.

Editor's Note

Rye meets dark chocolate in this moody Manhattan riff. The dual-bitter profile adds a complex, peppery finish that defines the drink.
