Rum Manhattan-Style image

The combination of dark rum, amaro, brown sugar syrup and bitters hails from Saltine restaurant in Nashville, where it's called Old Barbados. But as you savor it, the cocktail dispels any notion of a sunlit Caribbean beach. A snowy slope is more like it: Though iced in the making, the drink delivers a generous and lingering sense of warmth.
