Review

The cherry garnish is a sweet interlude between sips of this deliciously bittersweet aperitivo, or late-night digestivo that cuts through any lingering flavours from dinner.

made it with tequila and smokey scotch instead of mezcal and enjoyed it very much!

Might just be my taste but I think it benefits from a barspoon or so of syrup from the jar of maraschino cherries.

Swapped the vermouth to Dolin Blanc and added 5 ml of simple and it lifts the drink.

Flavors don't blend well enough. Some sweetness might help balance out.
