Vanderbilt Cocktail

Today I selected a 'Vanderbilt Cocktail' (from page no. 177 from Mr. Boston's Bartender's Guide, 1985).

The drink was pretty good, on the sweet side but good, overall. It is a "keeper", if you like a sweeter rather than a tart drink (I think both Olga and I prefer a touch of sweet).

The recipe:

3/4 oz Cherry Brandy (LeRoux)
1 1/2 oz Brandy (E&J XO)
1 teaspoon sugar syrup
2 dashes bitters

Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass. I garnished with a cherry.
