Two Saturdays ago, I returned to the 2020 Community Cocktails book were I spied the Long Way Home by Andrea Zeuge who worked at the Barnacle Bar and Vito's in Seattle. What drew me to the recipe was the combination of rye and aquavit that has been a great duo in drinks like the Immigrant Song and the Frontier. Moreover, the presence of Maraschino as a modifier was also appealing for it has complemented aquavit in cocktails like the Argyle and Bohemia.
