Ken Burns Effect

Cocktail consultant Erick Castro came up with the Ken Burns Effect as a riff on the classic Manhattan formula, with sweet sherry and marachino in place of sweet vermouth.
Castro uses Dry Sack sherry, which is a blend of Oloroso and Pedro Ximenéz sherries. You can use any sweet, dark sherry you have on hand.

Ingredients
- 2 parts Rye whiskey or Bourbon
- ½ part Sweet sherry
- ½ part Maraschino
- 1 dash Aromatic bitters or Orange bitters
Instructions
Stir all ingredients with ice, and strain into a chilled cocktail or coupe glass. Garnish with an orange twist.
