Toast your good health and a prosperous New Year with this wonderful cocktail. This is based on a drink served at a bar in San Francisco called the Bourbon & Branch . The original recipe calls for bourbon, but I like the rye whiskey with the dashes of two different bitters. You make the choice!! Averna Amaro is a wonderful Italian liquor made with herbs, roots, and citrus rinds, and a caramel flavor added for sweetness...perfect on its own or just about any cocktail you can throw it in. Ingredients:
ice |
2 ounces rye whiskey or 2 ounces bourbon |
1 ounce averna amaro (sicilian liquor) |
1 dash angostura bitters |
1 dash orange bitters (regan's is the best) |
1 maraschino cherry |
Directions:
1. Fill a mixing glass two-thirds full with ice. Add the rye whiskey (or bourbon), Averna, and both bitters. Stir vigorously for 30 seconds, then strain into a cocktail (martini) glass. Add the cherry.
