This Averna Swap Makes the Manhattan Actually Worth Making #drinks #cocktail #recipe

The Irish Twist: The Pot Still Black Manhattan 🥃 #cocktailshorts If a standard Manhattan is a sharp pinstriped suit, the Pot Still "Black" Manhattan is a heavy charcoal overcoat. In Episode 60 of Thirsty Thursday, Rebecca from Your Bourbon Journey explores a dark, viscous, and brooding twist on a classic. By swapping traditional rye for the powerhouse Redbreast 12 Year Cask Strength and replacing sweet vermouth with the thick, Sicilian Averna Amaro, we’ve created a cocktail with a massive, oily "chew" and an earthy profile that commands the palate. Whether you are an Irish whiskey lover or a Manhattan purist, this velvety, buttery build is the perfect way to elevate your St. Patrick’s Day celebrations. ### **Connect With Us & Support The Journey!** 🥃 **Become a Patron & Get Exclusive Content:** https://www.patreon.com/cw/YourBourbonJourney 🌐 **Visit Our Website:** https://yourbourbonjourney.com/ 🔔 **SUBSCRIBE HERE:** https://www.youtube.com/@YourBourbonJourney?sub_confirmation=1 📸 **Instagram:** https://www.instagram.com/yourbourbonjourney/ 👍 **Facebook:** https://www.facebook.com/YourBourbonJourney 📋 The Recipe: Pot Still "Black" Manhattan Ingredients: * 2 oz Redbreast 12 Year Cask Strength Irish Whiskey * 1 oz Averna Amaro * 2 dashes Fee Brothers Black Walnut Bitters * Garnish: Luxardo Cherry Instructions: 1.
