Russian Cocktail
Sweet brandy meets dry cherry eau-de-vie in this serious vodka-laced cocktail. Contemporary bartenders may prefer to stir this cocktail but it's classically...

Very good drink. I had some less expensive Leroux Kirschwasser from long ago so wondering if a fine Kirsch might be better?

Well shaken I found this dry and brisk- went down in three! Used sangue morlacco as it’s what I had. Not sure how it might impact the final result?

This was an "interesting" cocktail. Can definitely taste the cherries upfront with the almonds slightly present. Has slight herbal tones at the end (where from, I don't know. Maybe pepperiness from the Kirsh?) and was fairly dry and not sweet.

This was perfect for the occasion. We were having a New Orleans style dinner and needed a cocktail. This was perfect. The tastes of the cocktail went with the spiciness of the food. Was concerned it may be a bit sweet, so we use 2 oz of vodka instead of 1 1/2. Was great.
