Manhattan With Amaro and Cocoa image

A mixture of rye whiskey and amaro, with the addition of bitters, sets this simply made cocktail on the road to a manhattan. But then there are detours: the chocolate liqueur to add a mellow accent, and the cardamom for a hint of spice. I also tried substituting coffee liqueur for the chocolate, with great success. It is from the 18th Room in New York, where it is called Before Night Falls.

I love that this recipe uses rye whiskey instead of bourbon. It gives the Manhattan a spicy kick that I really enjoy.

This recipe is a great way to elevate your classic Manhattan. The amaro and cocoa add a depth of flavor that you won't find in other recipes.

I wasn't a big fan of the amaro in this recipe. I think it overpowered the other flavors.

The presentation of this cocktail was just as impressive as the taste. I garnished it with a twist of orange peel and a cherry, and it looked like something you'd get at a fancy bar.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would omit the cocoa next time.

I tried this recipe last night with friends. It was a hit! The combination of amaro and cocoa added a rich and complex flavor to the classic Manhattan. I will definitely be making this again.
