I'm enjoying this as I type, served on the rocks. I made this with just 5ml of Luxardo Maraschino syrup and a generous 15 ml of lemon juice, and that was sweet enough for me. On the nose, and indeed the retronasal impression, is certainly almond and cherry, so the name is entirely appropriate. On the palate, Amaretto is to the fore, followed by Maraschino, so it is on the sweet side - but with a balanced sourness from lemon, while the cognac provides a mellow warmth.
