Hardworking, ambitious Capricorn (December 22-January 19) sometimes takes a minute off to appreciate the finer things in life, and a Black Manhattan is just that. The usual sweet vermouth, however, is too easy for the rock-climbing goat, so we instead suggest Averna, which provides a luxurious flavor that more than holds its own against rye whisky. The Goat will appreciate sipping on this beautiful juxtaposition of flavors…while they consider the next step in their progress toward world domination. Plus you can pair this Black Manhattan with the perfect meal for Capricorn and learn a bit more about this special sign.
