Made 2 changes. Didn’t understand the tiny amount of maraschino so just went with 3/4 oz (22.5 ml) of cherry liqueur. This was, surprisingly, not too desperately sweet with 1.5 oz Stranahan’s cask strength Rocky Mountain single malt whiskey, but it needed something else. That turned out to be 1 tsp (5 ml) of Italian red bitter liqueur; tried both Campari and Martini & Rossi Speciale Bitter with good results. Was unable to find any other whiskey-cherry liqueur drinks in Difford’s database!

I've renamed categories of cherry liqueur to hopefully make it easier to find but all the recipes I've added are under "Cherry (brandy) liqueur"

Mea culpa. I used Cocktail Finder to pair "Whiskey--all styles" with both "Sour cherry liqueur" and "Cherry liqueur--Bittersweet cherry aperitivo," both of which yielded zero hits, which greatly surprised me. I apparently missed the "Cherry brandy liqueur" option, however, which is where all the recipes are. Anyway, two thumbs up here for the Hunter, esp. with a tad of bitter liqueur.

Hi Chris, if you're open to other types of whiskey, our Cocktail Finder brings up 85 cocktails with whisk(e)y (all kinds) and cherry brandy liqueur.
