Excellent, but mine was really sweet. I'm not happy with the quality of the cherry liqueur I can buy in my town, so I've prepared my own. I used Luxardo cherries syrup, a bit of brandy, almond essence, and a tad of Averna to correct sweetness. For the other ingredients, I followed the recipe. I love it, but it's probably much sweeter than it should be.

Subbed amontillado for the fino and Cynar for the Angostura Amaro. Wow this is something different, cherry, treacle and liquorice.

Any suggestions on garnish if you don’t have the cheese stuffed olive?
