A bit too sweet for my liking

Anna Bonde Premium Member 1y

This was a really tasty, spicy and Christmasy cocktail, will absolutely make again!

Ummm... How much is one whole syrup from Luxardo maraschino cherries? I buy my cherries in a 72 ounce jar.

Hi Doug. Just one cherry and the syrup that coats it. I've corrected the way this appears.

Much sweeter then I thought it would be. The orange I used might have been the issue. Will not make again.
