Amaro Manhattan

 I used Amaro Averna Siciliano and Rye, and I did find and use lavender bitters (which I highly recommend finding.)  I garnished with a Luxardo cherry.  This is, by far, the most amazing upscale Manhattan I have every had.  This is my go-to cocktail for times I want to celebrate!  This cocktail is rich, sophisticated, luxurious and absolutely delicious.  The Amaro Averna Siciliano I used is on the expensive side, but a splurge worth it for special occasions.
