Manhattan With Amaro and Cocoa image

A mixture of rye whiskey and amaro, with the addition of bitters, sets this simply made cocktail on the road to a manhattan. But then there are detours: the chocolate liqueur to add a mellow accent, and the cardamom for a hint of spice. I also tried substituting coffee liqueur for the chocolate, with great success. It is from the 18th Room in New York, where it is called Before Night Falls.

This cocktail was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less cocoa next time.

I substituted Cynar for the amaro and it was still really good. I think this recipe is very versatile.
