Created by bartender Todd Smith when he worked at San Francisco’s Bourbon & Branch, the Black Manhattan recipe uses Averna in place of sweet vermouth—a groundbreaking move when it was created in 2005.

2	oz	Bourbon
1	oz	Amaro	Use Averna or Nonino Riserva
1	dash(es)	Angostura bitters
1	dash(es)	Orange bitters
		Cherry

Stir with ice and garnish with single speared cherry.

If you’re a fan of the classic Last Word, this citrusy cocktail will hit the spot. Chartreuse ups the herbacousness of this gin cocktail from bartender Andrew Volk.

1½	oz	Gin
¾	oz	Chartreuse (green)
¾	oz	Lime juice
½	oz	Simple syrup
		Cherry
½	oz	Egg white
		Lime wedge

Dry-shake all ingredients without ice to combine, then add ice and shake again until chilled and foamy. Double-strain into a chilled glass with fresh ice; garnish.
