Combine all ingredients in a cocktail shaker, add ice, and stir quickly with a bar spoon for 10-15 seconds. Strain into a chilled martini cocktail glass and garnish with dried cherry macerated in Maraschino liqueur.

The Highland Fizz

¾ part Drambuie
¾ part Bacardi Gold Rum
dash of fresh lime juice
dash of Angostura bitters
1½ parts authentic ginger beer (ginger ale can be substituted if ginger beer is not available)

Combine all ingredients in a tall glass and stir. Garnish with a wedge of fresh lime.

The Chevalier

½ part Drambuie
¾ part Grey Goose Le Citron Flavored Vodka
¼ part Martini & Rossi Bianco vermouth
