Excellent observation, Amanda! If you substitute cherry for the vermouth in a Manhattan, you have the Broketail.
This is from webtender: Cherry Heering is a Danish cherry liqueur invented in the late 1700s or the early 1800s by Peter Heering. It is dark red and has a flavor of black-cherries that is not overly sweet.
The manufacturing company, Peter F. Heering, was founded on December 1st 1818.
