Although we used brandy for this fall-inspired cocktail, swapping in calvados would dial up the autumn vibes even further.
Ingredients
3/4 oz 100% rye whiskey
3/4 oz brandy or Calvados
3/4 oz sweet red vermouth
1/2 oz maraschino or cherry liqueur
1 good cocktail cherry, for garnish
Instructions
Stir rye with brandy, vermouth, maraschino liqueur and some ice in a cocktail shaker with a long spoon for 30 to 45 sec. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with one or two cocktail cherries on a pick.
Kitchen tip
Find good quality cocktail cherry brands at Italian grocers (look for Toschi or Fabbri), cocktail-supply stores (Luxardo) or Loblaws (PC Black Label).
