This recipe, from Julie Reiner of the Clover Club in Brooklyn, is a bourbon Manhattan, sweetened up with apricot and smoothed out with vermouth. It’s a strong one, and it goes down easily. (The New York Times)

Used Amaretto instead of Apricot liqueur, with a dash of Cherry Liqueur. Yumm!

Cointreau makes this even better

Ammereto or Conitreau

One of my favorite Manhattan variations for summer. I find there’s no good substitute for Punt e Mes in this recipe, it really makes the cocktail.

Didn't have any apricot liqueur so I mixed a bit of apricot jam into some brandy. Yes please!
