Method

Cocktail

1

Chill glass

Place a martini or coupe glass in the freezer for several minutes or fill with ice water to chill while you prepare the cocktail.

2

Combine ingredients

Add 2 oz Redemption Rye, 0.75 oz Amaro Averna, 0.25 oz Licor 43, and 2 dashes orange bitters to a mixing glass.

3

Add ice and stir

Fill the mixing glass with ice (about 1 cup). Stir gently but thoroughly for 30–45 seconds until well chilled and slightly diluted (the mixing glass should become cold to the touch and the liquid slightly viscous).

4

Prepare glass

Discard ice or ice water from your chilled martini/coupe glass and rinse briefly with a splash of fresh water if you used ice water, then discard that rinse.

5

Strain

Using a julep or Hawthorne strainer, double-strain the cocktail into the chilled glass to remove small ice shards for a clean presentation.

Garnish & Serve

6

Express the oils of one orange peel over the drink by holding the peel skin-side down about 3–4 inches above the surface and giving it a firm twist. Then rub the peel around the rim of the glass and drop it into the cocktail or rest it on the rim.

7

Optionally, drop a cocktail cherry into the glass for an added sweet note and visual contrast.

8

Serve immediately. The Tan Manhattan is best enjoyed cold and slightly viscous, with the rye backbone complemented by Averna’s herbal bittersweetness and Licor 43’s vanilla-citrus warmth.
