Tonight’s cocktail is one of the standards – a basis for many other cocktails and quite frankly I believe is often overlooked. Well, I think it is high time to get this beauty back into the public eye! This drink is simple to make and when made with a great tasting whiskey, the results are sublime. There is not much more to say about this cocktail, so let’s kick off this weekend!

I used the 1792 Small Batch Bourbon and one of my smoked cherries as a garnish in the pictured drink – it was delicious!
