This is obviously personal preference, but this was definitely too booze forward for me. While I could happily accept it and sip on it, making it myself requires a touch more sweetness. It didn’t even taste much like cherry to me. I added some Reál Black Cherry Purée, tasted it then added some simple syrup. About a bar soon of each (in a doubled recipe) After the simple addition the cherry flavor really came out and the sweetness level brought it into the realm of enjoyable for me.
