Blue Ribbon’s cocktail is a cousin of the Manhattan — VIDEO

The amaro in the Country Lawyer from The Cosmopolitan’s new Blue Ribbon brings bitter tastes of rhubarb and mint to this cousin of the Manhattan, while the Benedictine supplies a fruity touch. With all of that going on, however, it’s tough to appreciate the chocolate in the bitters, unless you’re heavy-handed with your dash.

Ingredients

■ 1 1/2 oz. Knob Creek bourbon

■ 1/2 oz. Dolin Blanc vermouth

■ 1/2 oz. Cappelletti Amaro Sfumato Rabarbaro

■ 1/4 oz. Benedictine

■ Aztec chocolate bitters

Garnish

■ orange swath

Directions

Add bourbon, vermouth, amaro and Benedictine to glass. Stir with ice. Pour into glass over large ice cube. Add dash of bitters. Garnish with orange peel.
