A riff on a Bushranger. Dry and spiritous but rounded and mellowed by subtle red grape and maraschino cherry fruitiness. Best enjoyed as a late-night sipper.

This is the first cocktail (out of scores) on here I've wanted sweeter to balance; we always reduce sweeter ingredients - but agree with others, increase the Maraschino

Very flavourful digestive or evening sipper. Does benefit with a bit of time to breathe. Explosion of flavours.

I made this yesterday (Feb 21) to mark the anniversary of the publication of the Communist Manifesto (thinking of workers of the world uniting etc.). I agree that a full barspoon (5ml) of maraschino liqueur works well. Very tasty. Also, if you're interested, a video of me making it: https://youtu.be/XWjMqX81OuY

Hi Simon, I did it by stirring, rather than shaking. I felt, it needed more maraschino, so I put around 5 ml. Can’t see coming back to this but I enjoyed it.

Thanks for commenting. It should indeed be stirred and I've now corrected "How to make" above. Can never have too much maraschino!
