Remember the Maine is a rich and slightly bitter whiskey cocktail that dates back to the 1930s. It was popularized by Charles H. Baker in "The Gentlemans Companion."

It is a Manhattan variation with cherry liqueur and a hint of absinthe, making it both complex and smooth.

• 50ml Rye Whiskey
• 20ml Sweet Vermouth
• 10ml Cherry Heering
• 1 dash Absinthe

Stir all ingredients with ice.

Strain into a chilled coupe glass.

Garnish with a cherry.
