| |
| |
| 3/4 oz. | sweet vermouth |
| 2-1/2 oz. | bourbon whiskey |
| 1 dash | bitters |
| 1 | maraschino cherry |
| 1 | twist orange peel |
| |
| combine the vermouth, bourbon whiskey and bitters with two or three |
| ice cubes in a mixing glass. stir gently; don't bruise the spirits and |
| cloud the drink. place the cherry in a chilled cocktail glass and |
| strain the whiskey mixture over it. rub the cut edge of the orange |
| peel over the rim of the glass and twist it over the drink to release |
| the oils, but don't drop it in. |
| |
| variation: no bitters. substitute a twist of lime for the cherry and |
| orange. hold the lime twist in the flame of a lighted match over the |
| drink and then drop the twist in. the heat intensifies the lime |
| flavor. |
