A delicious Black Manhattan, and the story behind it's creation.

See the Elephant Amaro is made by a multigenerational family in southern Italy from locally grown arugula. Named one of the top 10 Essential New School Amari by Punch. Add Castle & Key’s Restoration Rye, a 100-proof Kentucky straight rye whiskey from one of the country’s most iconic distilleries. Plus Alchemix orange and aromatic bitters. Each brings their own component to make this wonderful cocktail.


The Black Manhattan is when you swap sweet vermouth for amaro. It’s worth trying. See for yourself. Castle & Key brings the backbone. See the Elephant brings the flavor. Alchemix ties it all together.
