For a bolder flavor, consider using a higher-proof rye whiskey.
Experiment with different brands of sweet vermouth to find your preferred taste profile. Carpano Antica Formula is a popular choice.
Adjust the amount of bitters to your liking. Some prefer two dashes for a more pronounced bitter note.
Garnish with a lemon twist instead of a cherry for a brighter, citrusy flavor.
For a smoother cocktail, use filtered water to make your ice cubes.

    Great recipe! I didn't have brandied cherries, so I used regular ones, and it was still delicious.
