About

The Black Manhattan was created in the early 20th century as a variation of the traditional Manhattan cocktail. The main difference between the two drinks is that black version replaces vermouth with Averna amaro. This gives the drink a slightly more bitter flavor, which some people prefer over the sweeter taste of a traditional manhattan.

Whether you’re a fan of the traditional manhattan or are looking to try something new, the black manhattan is definitely worth checking out.
