Fanny Wright

2 oz Blended Scotch (I used Duncan Taylor 12)
1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
1⁄4 oz Averna
1⁄4 oz Bruto Americano
1 Maraschino cherry, Luxardo
Instructions

Stir, strain, up

Notes

I wanted a drink that would complement a rich stew. This is rich enough to stand up to it but bitter enough to provide a lovely contrast.

Good cocktail, cool name reference, and I can tell it would work very well with a rich stew. The Bruto Americano adds some cooking herb flavors for another dimension. I tried it using Cutty Sark Prohibition for its flavor, but the 100 proof made it a little hot, so I recommend sticking to an 80 proof as in the original call. I used 1/4 oz Maraschino vs. 1/3 oz (2 tsp) as I was worried that might dominate--I can be a little gun shy with Luxardo.

Just to clarify, based on comment above: there's no maraschino liqueur in the spec, which had a typo in it, now fixed.
