History

Adapted from a recipe called "Sour Cherry" created in 2023 by Ciarrai Kelly and Adam Montgomerie at Hawksmoor in Manhattan, New York City. Adam's recipe is soured with 5ml of acid-adjusted cherry juice made with 700g cherry juice, 15g malic acid and 30g citric acid. My version is more bittersweet cherry and Negroni-like, hence the change of name.

Use the hack described elsewhere on this site and use 3 parts amaretto to 1 part grenadine if you don't happen to have creme de noyau about your person. An outstanding cocktail, particularly during cherry season if you have lovely juicy cherries you can juice yourself.
