Black Manhattan

The black manhattan cocktail was created in 2005 by the mixologist Todd Smith, who created it when he worked at Bourbon & Branch in San Francisco. This cocktail taste is a bit different than the classic Manhattan, it has a bittersweet and herbal taste that comes from the Amaro Averna.
