Stake the cherries onto a garnish spear. Drizzle half of the SoChatti over the cherries to coat them in a light layer and set aside. Combine the bourbon or rye, bitters and remaining half ounce SoChatti in a shaker tin and stir vigorously. Then fill with crushed ice and add vermouth. Stir again until chilled. Double strain into a rocks glass. Garnish with cherry spear. 

Tip: Hold cherry spear above chilled glass while coating them with the SoChatti. Allow the excess SoChatti to drip onto the sides of the glass. Then fill it with your cocktail.
