The Rich Man(Hattan)

Written By Cody Gragg

Inspired by Fiddler on the Roof

This drink was created for Walton Arts Center’s Broadway series showing of Fiddler on the Roof.

The concept of this drink was to create a rich, luxurious, and flavorful take on a manhattan. I picked an obvious route for this one: Chocolate Covered Cherries.

There isn’t much else to it. I created a rich cherry syrup by diluting the syrup from cocktail cherries and mixing it with a simple syrup to thin it a bit. Other than that, it’s just a simple build and stir drink.
