Southern Cali-Foodie

Ingredients:

2 parts Knob Creek or other good Kentucky bourbon
1 part sweet vermouth
4 splashes of Angostura bitters
3 cherries, pits removed, soaked in cognac or other brandy at least overnight

Directions:

Fill a tall cocktail shaker with ice. Add the bourbon, sweet vermouth, and bitters to the cocktail shaker. Drop the drunken cherries into the bottom of a standard martini glass. Shake the cocktail mixture vigorously and then pour through a strainer into the glass. Serve immediately... but sip it slowly... you have been warned! :)
