Stir with cracked ice in a chilled stirring glass. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with some cherries or an orange peel.
The first published recipe for Remember the Maine comes from Charles H. Baker's, "A Gentleman's Companion" in 1933. If the Sazerac and a Manhattan had a baby it would be this cocktail, so if you enjoy either of those, definitely give this one a try. This is how I like to make mine. It looks more purple in the photo than it actually is, probably the lighting at the time. Cherry on the nose with a oak and floral finish. A nice sipper for the Holidays. Merry Christmas everyone! Cheers!
