I'm under the weather today because of roofing fumes at work and it must be messing with my brain more than I thought. Sorry.

No problems, come on over and I will make ya a Manhatten promise it will fix ya right up... We'll sit on the porch smoke cigars swill some bourbon and talk razors

I like Maker's Mark & sweet vermouth. Drop or two of orange bitters and two of those goofy cherries. I know the cherries are ridiculous, but I swear they make a difference.

Either way, I like mine with Cinzano and no bitters

My apologies! I meant the latter.
