Toast your good health and a prosperous New Year with this wonderful cocktail. This is based on a drink served at a bar in San Francisco called the "Bourbon & Branch". The original recipe calls for bourbon, but I like the rye whiskey with the dashes of two different bitters. You make the choice!! Averna Amaro is a wonderful Italian liquor made with herbs, roots, and citrus rinds, and a caramel flavor added for sweetness...perfect on its own or just about any cocktail you can throw it in.

SERVES 1 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

ice
2 ounces rye whiskey or bourbon
1 ounce Averna Amaro (sicilian liquor)
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash orange bitters (Regan's is the best)
1 maraschino cherry

Directions

1
Fill a mixing glass two-thirds full with ice. Add the rye whiskey (or bourbon), Averna, and both bitters. Stir vigorously for 30 seconds, then strain into a cocktail (martini) glass. Add the cherry.
