I was going to make a Habitant tonight, but then I saw your comment about using maraschino juice for the man o war, so I had to try it. Then I went and put morello cherry juice in by accident. Still a great taste, but I will stick to lemon juice with bourbon.

Yes after a few goes I find I prefer 2:1 sake:gin and a little more maraschino. More maraschino makes it more sakura-ish anyway.

An excellent sour but rich syrup makes it a little bit on the sweet side. Yuzu or Meyer lemon go really well with sake though. Lovely.

A real favourite of mine: a simple sour, but the maple works really well with the rye.
