This one was unfortunately a bit too sweet for me. It wasn't necessarily too sweet in the amount of sugar, but rather the cherry liqueur, the Grand Marnier, and the cognac all contributed to a cloying sweetness that's difficult to deal with. I would try maybe 4:2.5:2:1:1.5:0.25 next time just to see how a higher ratio of cognac and vermouth, and slightly less GM, would play with the rest of the ingredients.

Saying that, adding just a dash of saline solution, and some more dry vermouth, helped the cocktail a ton. It doesn't feel as cloying anymore but rather like a standard digestif.

I really liked this cocktail. Saying that, next time I will be adding 1/2 shot of lemon or lime juice.

Definitely on the sweet side. Spirituous, rich and fruity with a slightly bittersweet finish. Added a dash of orange bitters as others, but still rather sweet for me; maybe cut the grand Marnier to 15ml?

Needs bitters. Otherwise too sweet. Added Angostura because thats what I have, worked. Yummy.

Pre orange bitters: pretty nice but too sweet
Post orange bitters: pretty wonderful!
Can someone give me an idea how the 1/2tsp of Lux’o contributes at all in the face of all that powerful Cherry Heering?

Sipping this right now, well one sip left. Took the advice to add a dash of orange bitters too. Let my husband make this one whilst getting ready and we both loved it, 5* for us

The nose on this cocktail is fantastic with cherry being most prevalent. It is on the sweet side upfront but quickly changes mid-palate to a slightly bitter dark fruit flavor and then has a slight bitter-sweet finish.
