2 oz Rye Whiskey (Old Overholt 86°)
1/2 oz Oloroso Sherry (Lustau)
1/2 oz Maraschino (Luxardo)
1 dash Angostura Bitters
Stir with ice, strain into a Nick & Nora glass, and garnish with an orange twist.
For a cocktail two Fridays ago, I came back to the Raised by Wolves online flashcard set. There, I was lured in by the Ken Burns Effect crafted by Erick Castro and named after a video panning effect on a still photo that I got quite familiar with when editing videos during the pandemic. Overall, its structure reminded me of Rhiannon Enlil's
Neutral Ground but with the delightful combination of oxidized sherry and Maraschino instead of Benedictine. Once assembled, it proffered an orange and nutty cherry aroma. Next, a semi-dry grape sip evolved into rye with nutty cherry melding with oxidized sherry flavors on the swallow with a clove and allspice finish.
