cherry blossoms! this drink turns a wonderful hue/shade/refraction of pink.....
| 1 1⁄2 | oz | Gin, Catoctin Creek |
| 1 1⁄2 | oz | Pisco, Macchu pisco |
| 4 | Cherry | |
| 3 | ds | Bitters |
| 3 | cube | Sugar |
Instructions
Shake gin, pisco, bitters on ice, strain in vessel of choice. Drop sugar cubes in and merely crush. Add cherries and give it all a couple brisk stirs.
Notes
I used Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine Cherries which are cleaner than Luxardos and a good fit for this clear drink, some fresh cherries pitted are a good alternative. The pisco is pretty hard to mix generally but the Catoctin Creek Watershed Gin has a distinct flavor which works well. And finally, the crushed sugar cubes swirled with the cherries is a unique presentation and infusion of sweetness.
Ted!

Curated this - changed 45 cl to 45 ml, unless 15 ounces of pisco is appropriate.
Thanks,
