At a recently held cocktail party, a guest brought sake and asked for something. I found this recipe and it ended up becoming the most talked about and requested cocktail of the evening. After being greeted by an initial hit of sake, the transition to the bourbon and vermouth was perfect. I didn't have any cherry brandy on hand, so I doubled the Luxardo which made the cherry garnish a bit more of an exclamation. Excellent creation.
