Interesting. I've been looking for savory drinks that aren't a martini or Bloody Mary, and this has potential. Seems to me like it needs something more, to temper the intense umami of the vinegar. Next time I think I'll add a touch of lemon.

I used the liquid from the homemade pickled cherries instead of the cider vinegar. I left out the bitters because I can’t find pepper bitters. It was very good.
