A Manhattan riff that trades sweet vermouth for the floral, subtly bitter character of Lillet Blanc. The rye's spice drives the drink, while cherry liqueur adds a dark, fruity sweetness that stays restrained rather than cloying. Orange bitters tie the elements together, lending a citrus brightness that lifts the finish. The result is dry, elegant, and decisively spirit-forward.
