Review:

Given the context behind the creation of this cocktail, it is understandably cherry brandy forward but this richness is balanced with sour lime with tequila contributing its strength of character to this assertive sour.

Very nice. All the flavours balance. The touch of cinnamon is the difference maker. It adds a subtle spice which warms the cherry flavour. Tequila and lime is a given. Very nice (again!)
