This is certainly a tasty gin drink if you're in the mood for cherry & citrus. Would drink again!

A great, cherry-forward cocktail. A good quality cherry liqueur is probably the most important part of this drink (I used luxardo sangue morlacco and it was just wonderful)

This is one of the greats, though, as so often with the Savoy Cocktail Book, it calls for premium ingredients.
