Cherry red, spirit-forward and dangerously quaffable as a late-night tipple

Worked lovely with El Dorado 8. It's like a delicious cherry chocolate praline.

I get the idea but Jamaican rum was too funky. Will try with Cuban next time.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who wondered this about the naming? Maybe the Doug Selbst?

A serious but also somehow fun cocktail. Perhaps it's the cherry and chocolate that lighten the mood. A bit timid at the specified volumes, so we up the rum to 60ml, the Heering to 30ml and add two more drops of the chocolate bitters. Fits nicely in our Nick and Nora glasses, which we think are much better suited to this cocktail than the recommended coupe.

Agreed. A Nick & Nora would be more fitting - literally.

Perfect digestive. Wonderful rum flavours with the hint of cherry. Slight hint of Caribbean flavours with a whiff of chocolate. Outstanding.
