Tonight we tried a cocktail using a maraschino liqueur we picked up yesterday (it tastes good straight!). The cocktail (Honolulu No. 2 on page 98 of our Bartender's Guide) was very good, somewhat sweet but it had complex flavors. We liked it.
The book, Obituary Cocktail, was loaned to us by a neighbor. It is a great look at New Orleans from a "cocktail" point of view. One surprise to me was that the Ramos Gin Fizz was a New Orleans creation; I thought it originated in San Francisco.
'Honolulu Cocktail #2'
3/4 oz gin
3/4 oz Marashino (Luxardo Originale)
3/4 oz Benedictine
Stir with ice and strain into cocktail glass.
Cheers!
