Rialto in Cambridge, MA reported makes this 1:1:1, which sounds like a lot of Maraschino
Lemon zest, Stir, Rocks, Lowball
Very sweet; unbalanced. Added lemon and zest. Helped a lot. Tried some dry vermouth, but that seemed like the wrong direction. Based upon dfan's "san serif" drink, renamed Bauhaus.
Shake, strain, straight up, claret glass.
"If preferred very sweet add two dashes of gum syrup."
Savoy Cocktail Book
The proportions are right - the Savoy calls for 1 wineglass (=2 oz) "Mixed" vermouth and 1 pony (=1 oz) rye whiskey, along with 2 dashes of Maraschino (or curacao) and 3 dashes Angostura. Jerry Thomas omits the "Mixed" from the vermouth (weirdly enough, it doesn't specify sweet or dry), and calls for "bitters".
Ooh loved this! Had to do a 1:1 mixture of dry and blanc Dolin as it was all I had. One dash Fee brothers whiskey barrel bitters, 2 dashes Fee orange bitters. One Maraschino cherry, "if preferred v sweet add some maraschino cherry goo" ;-) YUM!
Stir, strain, straight up, cocktail glass
For someone who wants a somewhat sweet cocktail. Take care to just just a rinse of absinthe, lest it overpower the other flavors.
I revised this to the recipe that I found in CocktailDb. I'd love to have an authenticated reference, if anyone knows one.
