Adapted from a recipe created in 2025 by Ciarrai Kelly and Adam Montgomerie at Hawksmoor in Manhattan, New York City. Their original recipe is based on London dry gin and includes a barspoon of acid-adjusted cherry juice (made with 15 grams malic acid, 30 grams citric acid, and 700 grams cherry juice).

Comments & Discussion

Tavor Lahat
Nice take, yet it seems that the tarty deep black fruit cherry flavours don’t complement well the bitterness and herbal flavours of the juniper, wormwood (vermouth), Noyau and Campari in my opinion.
I would pair the cherry components with Cognac, Armagnac and other grape spirits.
Yet, it is nicely juicy, very juicy and interesting.
