Fruity and slightly sweet but toned by Scotch whisky.

Awesome cocktail where you can taste all the ingredients

Didn’t really get the cola but I used monkey shoulder, cocci di Torino Rossi and fresh pineapple but liked it much better with rocks.

Tastes like cherry cough syrup. Can see how cherry coke fans might like it though.

Den Kovhan 3y

Nice drink, but cherry is on a first role.

Definitely needs the bitters as it would be a bit basic without (even better doubled up to 2 dashes). Reminiscent of cola but in a good way

Sandip Gohil 3y

Yeah it's alright. Your idea of double bitters is better and I do get the cola taste, but again always depends on what whisky and vermouth used. I used Walker red and Cocchi storico
