History

Those with a sweet tooth should disregard the word "sweet" in the name, referring to sweet vermouth in a dry, not bone-dry, spirituous cocktail. Bourbon forms the backbone, maraschino adds faint cherry fruitiness, while chocolate bitters provide bitter chocolate notes. Dark chocolate liqueur adds decadence.
