This is the cocktail for all of you who aren't martini drinkers. The addition of just a little cherry juice makes for a very smooth drink. Ingredients:
2 ounces bourbon (use a good quality, such as maker's mark) |
3/4-1 ounce sweet vermouth, depending on taste |
2 -3 dashes angostura bitters (or orange bitters, if you can find them) |
1 teaspoon cherry juice (from the jar of maraschino cherries) |
1 maraschino cherry, preferably on its stem |
Directions:
1. In a mixing glass, half-filled with ice cubes, combine all the ingredients, except the cherry. Stir a couple of times.
2. Strain into a cocktail (martini) glass. Let the cherry drop to the bottom.
