Good enough to have been on the Mayahuel menu. Pretty sure that Phil Ward would approve.

Are you saying the same recipe (e.g. ingredient list) was on the Mayahuel menu at some point?

Outstanding balance between smoke, sweet, and bitter.

i don't understand this recipe.
it is a luxardo cherry or a ounce or luxardo cherry syrup(that makes a cocktail very sweet), please respond this

yarm commented on 7/02/2026:

I'm assuming that it's 1 cherry. The 1 "ea(ch)" option is confusing for new users to select to get that to happen.

Shawn C commented on 7/02/2026:

It should be "each" but "brandied cherry" in the KC ingredients list had default units of oz. (The recipe says to put cherry on the bottom, and if the syrup was required it should be clearly stated and can be listed as "cherry syrup".) I have corrected the recipe, and updated the KC brandied cherry ingredient default unit to "each".
