I may have to make a quick trip to the corner store ... :twisted:

I make a home grown version of an old fashioned that I call a Broken Cherry:
2 sugar cubes, crushed

Two dashes of water, stirred well

2 dashes of Peychaud's Aromatic Cocktail Bitters

Add ice cubes

Pour your choice of Tennessee Whiskey, Bourbon or Rye. I enjoy Jack Daniel's Rye in this drink.

Let sit for a few minutes

Add two maraschino cherries, gently crush against side of glass. Stir.

Two tea spoons of maraschino cherry juice.
Enjoy.

Perique, sounds good.

Bulletin Rye. Great choice. I also use it in Manhattens.
