This spin on a Manhattan is my ode to New York City! This cocktail is a really easy one to whip up, because it's pretty much all ingredients I already have in the bar (with a strip of orange peel for some aromatic flavor... and it's pretty!). Amaro adds a wonderful complex flavor, and even some medicinal qualities - you can read all about it here! To add to the NYC-theme of this drink, the particular Amaro I used, St. Agrestis, is made in Brooklyn - and it happens to be one of my favorites.
