Recipe: Manhattan variation, the "Malt Whitman"

This one comes from bartender Ryan Kennedy of Cook & Brown Public House in Providence, RI and will ease you right into fall. He calls this Manhattan variation the "Malt Whitman," swapping the traditional sweet vermouth for maple syrup and maraschino for cherry herring.
