Note: The ginger ale must be Vernors brand ginger ale to truly be considered a Dowagiac. Any other brand is inferior.

Prepare a Tom Collins glass full of ice then add the Peach flavored Bourbon (Southern Comfort), next add the splash of Cherry Brandy and finish with the Vernors ginger ale.
Stir.
Garnish with a Traverse City Cherry.
Very popular drink in Michigan.
The Cherry Brandy listed is usually of the home made variety but any quality brand will do.
