Notes

  • This is the classic recipe, not an original.
  • Typically Rye whiskey is used but Canadian whisky, bourbon, and blended Whiskey can be used in its place.
  • Some garnish with orange peel or a modern maraschino cherry. Luxardo cherries are the original maraschino cherry before the bright red ones began being used.
