Just in case I'm not procrastinating enough, here's an after-dinner cocktail recipe that came in a little booklet around the neck of my new bottle of Luxardo maraschino liqueur. You could make it with another brand, but why would you buy anything other than Luxardo?
Please note that I'm in no way sponsored by or affiliated with the fine folks at Luxardo (though I certainly wouldn't mind an offer...)
2 oz scotch whiskey (no need to waste a single malt here, I used JW Black)
1 oz maraschino liqueur
Pour over rocks in an old-fashioned glass and stir. Yes, it's that simple. Add a maraschino cherry if you must garnish.
I didn't expect these two ingredients to get along as well as they do. The mixture reminds me of Drambuie - mellow, honeyish sweetness; faint spiciness; smoky, scotch-y depth; and a distinct anisette note thanks to the Luxardo (yet another reason to use the right brand).
Also, note that the spelling of scotch "whisky" is a silly modern invention that I refuse to follow. Live with it.
