Man O' War Cocktail
Bourbon and Cointreau create a strong citrusy base that is brightened with fresh lemon juice and balanced with sweet vermouth.
Servings 1 drink
Ingredients
- 2 oz Bourbon
- 3/4 oz Cointreau or any triple sec or dry curacao
- 1/2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/2 oz Sweet Vermouth
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to your cocktail shaker

Notes
If you'd like more cherry flavor than just the garnish you can add a barspoon of luxardo cherry syrup (or whatever brand you are using) to your shaker. Keep in mind that you may want to reduce the Cointreau just a touch to keep things balanced.
