Definitely needs dilution and then to sit a little bit. Actually enjoyed it more after it warmed up some. A good alternative to a sweet Manhattan. Might be interesting to do this again with a rye instead of bourbon.

Nice flavors but a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time I might try adding a little more whiskey, and/or substituting a fruitier Irish for the sweeter bourbon.

I probably should have stirred longer... Nice fruity Manhattan variation after a bit more dilution.

Spot on with the dilution. I added a couple cubes which really helped with the richness. This is an excellent flavor combination.

Wonderful cocktail. Would be perfect either before or after dinner, but I think it is best after. Slightly sweet, but well balanced. Great flavours.

I very much like it. Nothing dominates, it’s very well balanced. The orange and the cherry play off each other very well. ?

Fruity, yet balanced and well-weighted with just enough spirituous bite. Rum acts as a base while gin lightens and lifts.
