🥃 Serve in: Nick and Nora Glass
Rye whiskey and bourbon split the base here, sweetened with sweet vermouth and cherry brandy liqueur, finished with a rinse of absinthe -- a potent, historically resonant cocktail. Named after the U.S. battleship whose sinking helped spark the Spanish-American War, it's a strong, spirit-forward classic from the 1930s Savoy Cocktail Book. That absinthe adds a distinct herbal lift beneath the fruit and whiskey. Stirred and served up in a Nick and Nora glass.
Stir all ingredients with ice, then strain into a chilled glass. Express a lemon twist over the drink and discard, then garnish with a skewered cherry.
