Nice cocktail but IMHO it lacks depth. I tried saline solution and then some drops umami bitters, but the result was only slightly better.

Nice drink but you need to make sure that you add some of the Maraschino cherry syrup with the cherry otherwise it needs about 15ml of simple syrup.

Agreed. I've just re-visited and rebalanced. Thanks for bringing to my attention.
