Jared Sadoian often turns to “upside-down” drinks—where the base and modifier ratios are flipped—for a way to pair strong flavors in a way that won’t, as he says, “put you under the table.” His Manhattan variation marries fall in New England with the warm spices of the iconic alpine amaro, Braulio. He combines heirloom ice cider from northern Vermont, bonded apple brandy and an aromatic dash of bitters to bring it all together in the glass. “This is a full-flavored drink that remains light on its feet,” says Sadoian. “It’s versatile as an aperitif or a lingering after-dinner sip.”
