Spirit-led and very slightly sweet, this makes for a delicious late-night tipple.

Used my home steeped raspberry + strawberry gin plus a splash of Botanist, tweaked the Luxardo up - more fruity, just as tasty.

Two years later and revising. Topped up the sour Cherry gin with Hayman’s OT gin, no Luxardo so 10ml Gustav blueberry/raspberry liqueur, 4 drops Bob’s choc bitters and approx 8 BT aromatic bitters. Lovely contrast of the drink’s herbal intensity and fruit brightness with the brooding bittersweet cherry garnish.

Tried this using Tarquin's black cherry gin. Very tasty, one for the favourite list.

I added some lime juice and dry sloe gin and balanced that with Guignolet and Maraschino. Great nightcap.

I used Plymouth Sloe gin instead of Sour cherry gin and found it to be a little better. Found it to be a little tart with the Sour cherry gin.
