Background & History
A riff on the Manhattan although very similar to the 1917 cocktail the Brainstorm as well.
Notes & Review
A strong, dry cocktail that works pretty well considering the unique blend of ingredients. Hints of chocolate with the orange twist play nicely. Definitely very different from a Manhattan, and I prefer the original.
