Remember the Maine

Description

What makes Remember the Maine worth making is the way its flavours move across the glass. This is the sort of drink where bitterness, sweetness and aroma need to pull against each other. Rye whiskey, sweet vermouth, cherry heering and absinthe give it colour and structure, while the drier edge keeps the next sip interesting.

It is especially good before food, when you want something with flavour and tension rather than a sugary opener.
