An Excerpt and Drink from the Modern Mixologist: <\/strong><\/u><\/p>\nJust For Mary<\/strong>
\nInspired by the Manhattan\u2014a classic and rather serious cocktail hour libation\u2014and by the qualities expressed in my dear friend and writing partner, the Just for Mary emerged with ease. (ri)1 straight rye whiskey (pronounced \u201crye one\u201d) is made for mixing. Light among its rye brethren, pleasing, with both fruit and spice flavors at its center, it is tantalizing, friendly, and \u201ceasy on the tongue.\u201d I combined (ri)1 with Lillet Blond and presented it to Mary. She smiled but I could tell something was missing. Back to the liquor cabinet for a measure of Cherry Heering and some orange bitters, then finished with burnt orange twist essence and a brandied cherry. This time a big smile. It may have been \u201cjust for Mary,\u201d but thankfully there was enough for two. I think you\u2019ll agree that this is a perfect cocktail hour elixir. \u2013 Tony<\/p>\n![\"The](\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\")
