Tom & Cherry
Old tom gin with layers of cherry, a hint of bitter-sweetness and a balancing zesty sourness

Drinking this on National Cherry Day on the advice of "Mr. Yours Truly". Also an absolutely great cocktail for a Wednesday night!
I just muddled in the cherries before adding the other ingredients. It's a brilliant cocktail - sweet, sour, bitter, fruity...a cheeky cherry triumph!

What a fantastically balanced cocktail. Starts slightly sweet,but then the Campari and grapefruit come in very quickly to add a nice sourness/bitterness. An absolutely great cocktail on a Friday night after a long day at work.

This is outstanding. On my favourites. Loved that it is sweet, but not overly. Nice hints of bitter from the various ingredients. Perfect in the afternoon. We did thaw out some frozen cherries and made the juice. Thanks for creating.
I recommend to add 2 dashes of cherry bitters (to add complexity), one dash of plum and root beer bitter to add extra layers and bitterness to the cocktail, and a foamer to make it extremely elegant.
It’s amazing. Just wonderful.
