Aperol Manhattan

Aperol Manhattan (a Boulevardier Cocktail , but if you have no Campari)

• 2 oz rye
• 1 oz Aperol
• 1/2 Oz sweet vermouth (like Carpano Antica, but regular Carpano or other sweet vermouth works too, just a little more jammy taste)
• 2 dashes bitters

Stir long and well with ice in a mixing glass and strain into a cocktail glass. Garnish with a cherry.

Notes: I described the reason behind having so many Aperol cocktails in the Player Piano entry. Here's another one. It is also basically a Boulevardier if you want to make one, but think, "shoot, I don't have any Campari, because it's gross":
