1 oz Cognac
1 oz Madeira
3 Maraschino cherry (One each: red, white and green)
Instructions

Stir serve and serve up.

Notes

Ok, it's easy to get red maraschino cherries, and I remember seeing green around Xmas (at least in my childhood) but I nor anyone at the bar can remember ever seeing a white one.

History

Apparently this drink is a true hazard to keeping a 'consistent maidenhood' so ladies beware!

When I put this on a menu, I did 1 1/4 oz brandy, 1 1/4 oz Madeira (a dry one like Sercial at work or Verdelho at home), 1/2 oz Maraschino, 1 dash orange bitters. Cherry garnish. Even Baker commented in his book that it had too much Maraschino.
