Dolly Varden

2 oz Cognac
1 oz Cherry Liqueur, Cherry Heering
1⁄2 oz Chocolate liqueur
2 ds Bitters, Angostura
1 Brandied cherry
Instructions

Place cherry in the bottom of a Nick & Nora glass. Stir with ice, strain into glass.

Notes

I use Mozart Dark Chocolate liqueur when I make this. Other brands, even dark crème de cacao, will work fine, but I feel a dark chocolate liqueur brings a certain richness to the table.

History

Made for the 2023 Heering Cherry Cocktail competition. It was named after the historic Dolly Varden Chocolate Co. (which was named after the actress) which was founded in 1900 in Cincinnati's Over-the-Rhine district by Isaac Weinreich. They were credited with bringing the cherry cordial to the American market.
