I keep finding some great cocktail recipes in Old Mr. Boston’s Bartenders Guide. This recipe is quite a kicker: whiskey, vermouth, absinthe, and maraschino make for a really vivid flavor profile that’s fun to taste. Here’s how you make it:

Lawhill Cocktail

• in a mixing glass, combine:
• 1 1/2 oz whiskey (I used bourbon)
• 3/4 oz dry vermouth
• 1/4 teaspoon absinthe
• 1/4 teaspoon Maraschino liqueur
• 1 dash of bitters
• stir well with ice and strain into a chilled cocktail glass

I know this one has some expensive liquors in the mix (in 1/4 teaspoon measurements none the less), but I’d love to know what you think if you try it!
