History

I just looked at a bunch of cocktails with gin + Campari -- they often call for a sweeter, fruity or floral addition like Saint Germain or some such. My homemade brandied cherries + bounce packs a fruity but not overly sweet punch, decided to try it, and it was pretty tasty. Voila!

Comments

Made with a citrus-forward gin and 1/2 oz lime juice instead of lemon — tasty, bright, not too sweet ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
