Remember the Maine

Imagine yourself in Cuba in February 1898 . The USS Maine sat in the Havana Harbor when explosions are heard and the ship was sunk. The battle cry of “Remember the Maine!” subsequently roared out and instigated the Spanish-American War. As for this cocktail, it’s a call to action of its own. The subtle herbal sweetness offered by the Cherry Heering and the depth from the absinthe brings this Manhattan riff to another level.
