About the Manhattan Transfer

The Manhattan Transfer, created in 2008 by Phil Ward at New York City's Death & Co, is a bold and aromatic cocktail that balances whiskey, dry vermouth, Ramazzotti amaro, and orange bitters.

A variation on the Dry Manhattan, the drink takes cues from the Old Pal and Boulevardier, but distinguishes itself with Ramazzotti’s licorice, citrus, and herbal notes. The use of a 100-proof rye whiskey provides a spicy backbone, while the orange bitters enhance its complexity. The result is a dry yet richly flavored cocktail with layered bitterness and deep aromatics.
