Yup. My fave as well. I sub in an Apple flavoured whiskey. Makes for a lighter (flavour and alcohol) and more floral drink.

I tend to think of these equal-parts sours as a category, although I’m not aware of a generic term for the group. I suppose they’re all descended from the venerable Last Word. Paper Plane and variants have been going strong for 15 years now. Naked & Famous seems to be on rise lately.
A lesser known example that I also like is Monte Cassini - rye, yellow chartreuse, Benedictine, and lemon juice.
A local joint crafted a more, shall we say, strident entry they called an Industry Sour - green chartreuse, fernet branca, turbo, and lime juice. The color is off-putting, but it has a big big flavor. Unlike some others, this one wants a lot of shaking.

Interesting. I hadn’t heard of this one. The Chartreuse and Benedictine combo is surprising to me as they seem more similar than not. But I do love my Rye…

As much as I like a good manhattan, I mostly cycle through a dozen or so manhattan variations. This one is my current obsession:
Rancor’s Toothpick
1 1/2 bourbon or rye
1 cynar
1 sweet vermouth
2d mole bitters
I like to add an extra dash of bitters and balance it with a maraschino.

While I mix up the brands of tequila and triple sec on occasion, I find margaritas go best with just about everything in the Florida sunshine

If you use regular bourbon, I think this is called a black manhattan.

Speaking of black manhattans: start with the standard recipe of 2 parts bourbon or rye to 1 part Averna plus orange bitters, but swap half the Averna for punt e mes. Just a bit brighter and a bit less sweet. This is a longshoreman and I’m enjoying one now.
