Genever provides the yuletide spirit base, sweetened and flavoured by cherry liqueur, with chinato drying and adding wine notes while gin adds freshness and botanical complexity. Maraschino and orange bitters complete this festive tipple.

Had to substitute Cynar for the Barolo Chinato, and liked the blending of flavour with cherry forward. We ended up sipping for a while, and this cocktail tasted great as it ‘warmed’ up a bit (less chilled). Love the substantial size as well ? (filled our coupes with Cheer-re!)
