GLASSWARE Chilled Cocktail Glass

INGREDIENTS 2 ¼ Ounces Woodford Reserve ¾ Ounce Cherry Heering ½ Ounce Kirschwasser 4 Dashes Woodford Reserve Spiced Cherry Bitters Garnish: Veneràte Signature Flambéed Cherries

DIRECTIONS Garnish: Roll two Amarena Cherries in cane sugar until each cherry is fully coated. Using a long metal pick, skewer the cherries and place in a small metal cup, with a handle, filled with a ½ ounce of Woodford Reserve. Use a Cremè Brulè torch to heat the bourbon until its boiling point, then wave over the cup to light on fire. After drink is finished and poured, gently place the garnish in the cocktail to chill the cherries and the skewer. Drink: In a mixing glass add ice and water. Stir 10 times, drain the water and set the ice aside for use later. This process is known as breaking, or preparing, the ice. It takes the initial frost off of the ice, allowing for less dilution while chilling the overall drink, ensuring true flavors to come forward. Next, combine the ingredients in the mixing glass first, before adding ice. Prepare garnish, begin flambé and set aside. Add the prepared ice, and stir 50 times. Using a julep strainer, strain the cocktail into a chilled glass, extinguish flambé and then add the garnish to the drink. Serve and enjoy!
