Bakewell Tart Sour
Exactly as the name suggests. Also works well served straight-up in a coupe

I agree with others here. I made it with maraschino syrup at recipe proportions and it overwhelmed the drink, I felt. On second try I knocked the syrup down to 10 ml and the cognac up to 40 ml and it was delicious. I’m thinking 7.5 ml with the higher cognac might approach perfection.

Sorry, I mean 7.5ml syrup! I tried with 10ml and was also good but still on the sweet side.

Agreed. I tried with your suggested 40ml cognac and 10ml cherry syrup and indeed was delicious. I've amended the recipe above accordingly. Many thanks.
