An American original cocktail, The Manhattan originated in the mid-late 19th Century and was a mix of American Whiskey, Sweet Vermouth and cocktail bitters.

The PostModern Spirits Cherry Manhattan subs in Amaro Artemisia for the cocktail bitters and the syrup from in-house made whiskey cherries in place of the sweet vermouth.
