Fancy Free

A bittersweet, spirit-forward rye cocktail with bright lemon lift and cherry-almond notes from the maraschino. It pours a clear amber drink served in a sugar-rimmed cocktail glass with a sparkling edge. Worth trying if you enjoy Old Fashioned-style cocktails that add citrus brightness and maraschino complexity.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 oz Rye Whiskey
  • 2 dashes Maraschino Cherry Liqueur
  • 1 dash Orange Bitters
  • 1 dash Angostura® Bitters
  • 1 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 1 tsp Confectioners' Sugar

Instructions

  1. Coat the rim of a cocktail glass with lemon juice and a dusting of powdered sugar for a decorative touch.
  2. In a cocktail shaker, combine the rye whiskey, maraschino liqueur, orange bitters, and Angostura bitters.
  3. Add ice cubes to the shaker to cool the mixture thoroughly.
  4. Shake the shaker vigorously to blend the ingredients well.
  5. Strain the mixture into the prepared, sugar-rimmed cocktail glass, taking care to keep the sugar rim intact.
  6. Serve and enjoy your expertly crafted Fancy Free cocktail.
