Which should you pick?
The Remember the Maine and Toronto Cocktail share a very similar flavor profile — both are boozy and spirit-forward and bitter and complex. The deciding factor here is the base spirit (whiskey vs. whiskey) and how each is served, so go with whichever spirit appeals to you more.
