Blue Collar

A rye-driven Manhattan variant that leans into bitter complexity, the Blue Collar balances the whiskey's spice against the sweet vermouth's richness while maraschino and CioCiaro add layers of cherry sweetness and herbal depth. The amaro's orange notes carry through to the finish, making the citrus garnish feel inevitable. It's a workmanlike drink—sturdy, well-built, and unpretentious.
