Revisited this after a lengthy absence and followed the recipe this time; wow, what a difference. Using Difford's amounts, this must have the tiniest proportion of non-base-liquor ingredients of any cocktail I've made, so I used it to show off my best craithur (Redbreast 12-year-old), with excellent results. Also used Cheritelli, which has a bit more cherry flavor than most maraschinos. Directions are sketchy but I assume one is supposed to express the orange zest over the drink *before* discarding, though I folded & put it on the sword with the green olive (green on top). Just enough fancy to turn a glass of Irish into a cocktail. Slainte!
