Louisiane and Maine

2 oz Rye
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth
1⁄4 oz Cherry Liqueur, Cherry Heering
1⁄4 oz Bénédictine
1 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 ds Peychaud's Bitters
1 ds Absinthe
1 Brandied cherry, Luxardo (optional)
Instructions

Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass. Garnish with brandied cherry

Notes

Nicely balanced combination of vermouth, Benedictine and Cherry Heering backed by stiff rye and a gentle, inviting measure of absinthe and bitters. I used Rittenhouse and Cocchi di Torino.

While I like both of the cocktails it is based on, this is a level above either of them. I quickly decided I needed a second, and my wife had the same reaction.

History

A combination of "Remember the Maine" and "A La Louisiane"
