From the Bartender

Created in the mid-2000s in the New York bar scene as an applejack answer to the Red Hook and Greenpoint family of Brooklyn variations. Bonded applejack at 50% ABV is what the drink is built for — a softer apple brandy will be swamped by the Fernet.

Rye pepper and dried fruit up front, then honey, saffron and a dozen herbs from the Bénédictine filling in every gap the vermouth left open.

Rye pepper and vermouth's dark fruit, then Cynar's distinctive vegetal bitterness arriving underneath, adding a savoury depth a Manhattan never has.
