Too far away from the original. Still just about taste the cherry but the other flavours are a little overpowering.

The original Raffles is a little too sweet for my liking.
This version allows all the flavours to come through, especially the Benedictine which is largely lost in the Raffles version. Did top up with soda to make it longer, though.
A bit underwhelming. Predominant taste is the vermouth and not much else.
A bit sweeter with my ingredients than I was expecting but nice flavour, very fresh. The lemon peel is definitely not just a garnish.
