Fancy Free

The Fancy Free is essentially an Old Fashioned with Maraschino instead of sugar or simple syrup. Maraschino is astringent and dry on its own, but in such a large quantity, it has enough sweetness to balance this strong drink.

Stir with ice, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. You don’t need a garnish, but a cherry wouldn’t be out of place.
