About The Remember the Maine
The Remember the Maine cocktail is a richly complex, Prohibition-era classic that blends the bold character of rye whiskey with the herbal depth of sweet vermouth, a touch of cherry liqueur (typically Cherry Heering), and a whisper of absinthe. Named after the rallying cry tied to the sinking of the USS Maine in 1898, this cocktail balances sweetness, spice, and subtle bitterness with a smoky, aromatic edge. Traditionally stirred and served up in a chilled coupe, Remember the Maine is a moody, sophisticated sipper that evokes intrigue and history with every pour.
