Cherry Bakewell
I've seen the same cocktail with equal parts amaretto, cherry brandy and vermouth but's a recipe for an overly sweet cocktail – even for a dessert cocktail...

I halved the recipe, and honestly, I feel like the brandy wasn't needed. Delicious and fruity drink nonetheless. I wonder if it would be better with sherry, to get the nutty and even (maybe?) slightly breadier notes, as an ode to the pastry aspect of a bakewell. Or even a non-peated Scotch or Irish Whiskey?

Intense. Tastes of a cherry and almond Bakewell tart. Best halved, or split between two Nick & Nora glasses. Went down very well with my partner: "it's a pudding! lovely, really like this one!"

Made this one with blanc vermouth and I thought it was lovely. It's sweet, but not as much as one would expect from Heering and Disaronno together. I'll be coming back to this one if one day I get a bottle of dry vermouth to see the difference.

Another update because I forgot to give one; I think I prefer a blanc vermouth over a dry vermouth for this one. For the blanc vermouth I used Dolin and for the dry vermouth I used Martini, but I wonder how it would go if I used Dolin Dry and Martini Bianco. Maybe in a very distant future I'll try different brands.

Excellent option for a "dessert" cocktail that's not overly sweet!

Cherry tasty!

Really good and tasty, very cleverly reminiscent of the Bakewell tart.

Not too sweet (I even *like* too sweet, but this was not), and still had that wonderful bakewell taste.
I miss bakewells here in NL. :(
