Instructions
Shake, strain, cocktail glass, garnish with cherries
From other users
- Used Laird’s bonded and PFDC. Even beyond the indulgent garnish there’s a strong cherry aspect somehow. Herbaceous, maybe a bit medicinal, but pleasant and interesting.
- I think maybe turning down the Strega would help this to be less sweet. Would not recommend using Gran Marnier. Otherwise, a great use of Calvados.
- Fine, if somewhat unremarkable, sour.
- Reduce Strega and lemon juice to 0.5 oz

This had been on my to-try

This had been on my to-try list for months, and I'm glad I finally did. A fruity-herbal sidecar of sorts. Great use for both Calvados and Strega, both of which I rarely reach for. I could see tinkering with the proportions a bit (Dan might think this is too sweet :) ), but the overall idea is a good one.
