About
This cocktail was created by Matthias Soberon (@servedbysoberon). The name seems to point pretty clearly toward two drinks: the Palmetto, an old rum-and-sweet-vermouth Manhattan variation documented in The Savoy Cocktail Book in 1930, and the Black Manhattan, which Todd Smith created in 2005 by bringing amaro into the Manhattan template. Soberon takes that idea further with aged rhum agricole, Amaro di Angostura, Amontillado, and sweet vermouth, making it drier and more savory while keeping that dark, bittersweet profile.Cheers y’all!
