One sophisticated cocktail, coming right up. I put my own personal spin on a classic Manhattan with some of my favorite Italian flavors - artichoke, fennel and citrus! This cocktail traditionally would use bitters along with the vermouth and whiskey, but I gave it an Italian spin with Amaro liqueur - specifically, Cynar, which is made from artichokes. I find that Amaro liqueurs have a very complex flavor that can really rival conventional bitters, and in this case, it adds a ton of flavor. Cin cin!
