I think this is completely delightful in flavour but unbalanced vis a vis sweetness. I added 1/4oz gin and that took the edge off. Am looking forward to trying this with a dry vermouth to see if that tempers things. As it stands, the vermouth is pretty shy and retiring in this drink.

PS: thanks for the hint about the sugar syrup in the Mojito article, I love my drinks on the tart side but this one needed the 1/4oz to allow you to taste the cherry, just as you said. I can personally attest to the lovely difference it makes! 😉

This was adorable but confess I switched out the Cherry Heering for MacGuinness Cherry “Brandy” because Cherry Heering makes me think of and taste cough medicine. Perfect application for the pretend stuff, lovely on a sweltering tropical afternoon (even though we are many latitudes north of the tropics)!

BTS where have you been all my life??? Lol love this.
