I used a small amount of Chambord in place of the fresh raspberries & reduced the Campari to rebalance the bitterness. It is probably one of those combinations that looks wrong on paper but it actually works
50 ml Single Malt
15 ml Koko Kanu
10 ml Campari
7.5 ml Chambord
2 drops saline

This should be drunk while listening to Ahmed Jamal's rendition of the song in his Live At The Pershing album.Definitely a jazz cocktail!

This didn't work at all. It was way too medicinal tasting. Don't know if it is the nature of the drink, or if it was anything I did.
