• 2 1/2 ounces bourbon whiskey
• Dash Angostura bitters
• 2 to 3 ice cubes
• 1 maraschino cherry
• 1 orange peel twist

Combine vermouth, whiskey, and a dash of bitters with 2 to 3 ice cubes in a mixing glass. Stir gently so as not to cloud the drink. Place the cherry in a chilled cocktail glass and strain the mixture over the cherry. Rub the cut edge of the orange peel over the rim of the glass and twist it over the drink to release the oils, but don't drop it in.

Thanks TP. I have never had one in my life, and always curious, since Bony was always talking about them.

Had a MMM on Thursday in honor of Bony. Actually, I liked it. I was just surprised at the color, all the pics I saw of him with a drink, I was expecting a whisky glass with clear liquid, not a martini glass with 'pink' liquid.

I guess its just yet more good advice from the man.

I must confess! Last night Sue and I went to dinner at our favorite spot (Gus's) and sat at our special table. I ordered a Maker's Mark Manhattan in honor of my Idol and mentor Boney and Sue ordered a Dirty Martini. When the drinks arrived we tosted twice to Boney with a tears in our eyes and talked about all the good times and the Bonyisms we've experienced. Honestly guys it was all I could do to drink that Manhattan (I am a Grey Goose/tonic drinker). Only Boney could enjoy it! I even questioned it ingredience with the bartender. It took me three vodks and tonics to get my palet back in shape but I still love Boney and I promise I will try to cultivate a taste for Manhattans before #IV in Texas. Enough said. God Bless Boney And God Bless The USA. PS I think my Mother and Dad drank them in the 50's-60's. I can't wait to ask Carroll Shelby next month if he ever drank them? I'm sure he did!

Had my first 6 MMM's at Bony's memorial dinner on Wednesday. Like Superfly, I found them pretty tasty too. I think I will mix one up now and then and have a brief reflection of my short time knowing Bony.

At this point I think it's only fair that Makers Mark send their check as a forum sponsor. Are we even sure that Bony didn't work for them?

Ahh, Jake, perhaps that's the secret - one needs to drink 6 or more the first time!

Bony always ordered them with 3:1 bourbon:rest of ingredients. A little more potent.

I am still recovering!
