RUM MANHATTAN-STYLE
The combination of dark rum, amaro, brown sugar syrup and bitters hails from Saltine restaurant in Nashville, where it's called Old Barbados. But as you savor it, the cocktail dispels any notion of a sunlit Caribbean beach. A snowy slope is more like it: Though iced in the making, the drink delivers a generous and lingering sense of warmth.

RUM MANHATTAN
Steps:
- Combine the rum, vermouth, bay leaf reduction and bitters in a mixing glass with ice, and stir thoroughly. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass, then add the bay leaf and several blueberries.
- To flame the orange peel into the drink, cut a thumb-size wedge of peel from an orange. Holding a lighted match or lighter in one hand, squeeze the orange peel with the other hand over the flame so that the oils ignite as they pass through the flame. (This can require practice; an unflamed twist of orange will also suffice.) Serve.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients. The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the taste of your Rum Manhattan. Use a good quality rum, sweet vermouth, and bitters. If you can, use fresh orange peel for garnish.
- Measure your ingredients carefully. This is especially important for the rum and vermouth, as too much or too little of either ingredient can throw off the balance of the drink.
- Use a chilled glass. This will help to keep your Rum Manhattan cold and refreshing.
- Stir, don't shake. Shaking a Rum Manhattan will make it cloudy and dilute the flavors. Stirring will gently combine the ingredients and preserve the clarity of the drink.
- Garnish with an orange twist or cherry. This will add a touch of flavor and elegance to your Rum Manhattan.
