  • Even with the lemon juice I found this medicinal and unpleasant. Maybe my kirschwasser sucks.
  • Didn't like original much -- kirch too strong, ethanol too strong (made with Tanqueray). Revised is much, much better. Good drink. — ★★★★

I think this is great. Made stirred with maybe a half dozen drops of lemon juice.

Need to clarify which cherry brandy should actually be used. This recipe says kirschwasser, linked article shows a darker drink that might have used Heering. With a good kirschwasser, this was terrible and had a strong ethanol flavor like another commenter noted.

I agree - there's no way that color is Campari red. Dan, do you remember if it was Heering? Thanks, Zachary
