Review:
A bittersweet, salmon-pink, light, delicate balance of gin, herbal complexity, grapefruit and dry sherry.
History:
Created in 2011 by Nick Van Tiel and named after the 1969 soul classic by Motown singer-songwriter Stevie Wonder. Originally titled Oh My Marcia, the song was originally about Wonder's girlfriend whilst he was at the Michigan School for the Blind in Lansing, Michigan. After they broke up, the lyrics and title were changed to 'My Cherie Amour'.
