Fender Bender

The Fender Bender, from the Hi-Lo Diner in Minneapolis, is a charming Manhattan riff featuring the sweet touch of maple syrup alongside the smoky herbals of Cynar (an artichoke-based amaro). It’s a fresh take on an old standby, and the perfect complement to Hi-Lo’s neo-retro menu of updated 50’s diner fare.

Stir all ingredients with ice and strain into an ice-filled short glass. Garnish with a brandied cherry.
