Drinks Cocktails Rum Cocktails Black Manhattan Be the first to rate & review! Marc Farrell of Ten to One Rum, who wants to introduce the Caribbean's history, heritage, and culture into people's understanding of rum, shared the recipe for this rich and layered riff on the Manhattan, which shows off the smooth caramel and butterscotch flavors from dark rum. Pairing rum with the soft herbal notes of Averna Amaro Siciliano, which is sweeter than typical amaro, a few dashes of bitters, and a sweet Maraschino cherry, gently mellows the alcohol, making this simple stirred cocktail balanced, not bracing.

A former vice president at Starbucks, Farrell launched the top-shelf brand in 2019 to reframe the narrative of rum through the lens of his Caribbean heritage.
