Recording cocktail 1/14/2020

I went with a Man O’ War cocktail for last night’s podcast recording.

4 ounces good-quality bourbon or your favorite rye whiskey
2 ounces Cointreau or other orange liqueur
1 ounce sweet vermouth
1 ounce freshly squeezed lemon juice
Brandied cherries or lemon peel for garnish

This recipe makes two cocktails. Everything in a shaker and strained into a rocks glass. The tart/sweet balance is well done. I would have this again.
