Adapted from a recipe created by J. E. Clapham of Clapham Cocktails. Originally made with Merlet Soeurs Cerises, this is "A cognac version of the gin-based Copenhagen, without the lemon. Named after the Merlet HQ." The recipe also called for Cocchi Storico Vermouth di Torino.

Reading the merlet sœurs cerises description I can see how it would pair with the cognac. Nonetheless, this is pretty good and basically what it says on the tin. Rich and fruity. I had carpano as the vermouth, subbed in 5ml punt e mes to replicate the spec Cocchi storico, but the real thing would be preferable. Could potentially split it with dry vermouth also, bringing it closer to something like a blackthorn (my favourite!).

I basically made a different drink, used raspberry liqueur instead of cherry heering and doubled up the bitters to counterbalance the sweetness. Really enjoyable
