Very pleasant. Adding 25ml morello cherries liqueur helped lift it somewhat.

A fairly simple "Martini". My cherry juice was sweet enough to leave out the small amount of the rich syrup and it was very nice. Nice cherry flavor, but this will greatly depend on the cherry juice you use. Well done Simon.
