Garnish: Exactly two small dark maraschino cherries on one short plain pick at the rim

1. 01

   Pre-chill one clear heavy rocks glass, prepare exactly one large clear ice cube, and skewer exactly two small dark maraschino cherries on one short plain pick.

2. 02

   Measure 60 ml cognac, 30 ml tawny port, 7.5 ml maple syrup, two dashes absinthe, and two dashes New Orleans-style aromatic bitters into a mixing glass.

3. 03

   Fill the mixing glass with solid cold ice and place a bar spoon against the inside wall.

4. 04

   Stir smoothly for 20–25 seconds until the deep ruby-copper mixture is very cold and the maple is fully integrated.

5. 05

   Place the large clear cube in the chilled rocks glass and strain the cocktail over it.

6. 06

   Rest the pick with exactly two cherries neatly at the rim and serve without citrus or another garnish.
