Drink Recipe

Remember the Maine

Name: Remember the Maine
Prep time: 5 min
Yield: 1 serving
Cuisine: Cocktail
Ingredients: 60 ml Rye Whiskey; 22.5 ml Sweet Vermouth; 15 ml Luxardo® Maraschino Liqueur; 7.5 ml Absinthe

Rye, sweet vermouth and maraschino stirred together in a coupe that has been rinsed with absinthe and the excess discarded. The absinthe never shows up as a flavour so much as a cold anise smell that hits before the first sip. Underneath it is essentially a Manhattan with a cherry-almond lift. Charles H. Baker recorded it in Havana in 1933, mid-revolution, and the drink has kept his sense of drama.

Ingredients

60 ml Rye Whiskey
22.5 ml Sweet Vermouth
15 ml Luxardo® Maraschino Liqueur
7.5 ml Absinthe

Instructions

Pour the absinthe into a coupe glass and swirl to completely coat the inside. Discard the absinthe and set the glass aside. Add the other ingredients to a mixing glass and fill it 3/4 full with ice. Stir until chilled, then strain into the glass rinsed with the absinthe.
