Baker in 1933, this cocktail derives its name\\nfrom the rallying cry ginned up by jingoistic newspaper owners trying to\\nget the U.S. to declare war on Spain in 1899. Don't let the violent origins\\nturn you off, this one is worth trying.\\n```\\n2 oz. whiskey\\n3/4 oz. sweet vermouth\\n2 tsp. Cherry Heering\\n1/2 tsp. absinthe\\nCombine all components in a mixing glass, add ice, and stir. Strain into a\\ncocktail glass and garnish with a cherry.\\n```\\nPhotos by Lisa Denkinger\\nSee photo (https://www.instagram.com/p/BD7rJy7INFo)\\nSee photo (https://www.instagram.com/p/BD7rQifoNFt)\\nUSS Maine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Maine_(ACR-1))\\n\\nOff to Osaka Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)\\nLicensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 License\\nhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/"
