2 oz Brandy
1⁄2 oz Orange cordial
1 bsp Cherry Liqueur, Sangue Morlacco
2 ds Bitters (1 dash aromatic, 1 dash cherry bitters)
Instructions
Muddle cherry in liquid ingredients, shake, double strain over cracked ice, garnish with two more brandied cherries on a pick with an orange flag.
Notes
To make an orange cordial: peel a large orange and combine the peels in a small bowl with enough sugar to cover them completely. Cover and let macerate overnight, occasionally stirring. Stir in the juice from the orange. Strain liquid off the peels and bottle.
History
A craftish take on the cherry smash known in Wisconsin as a Brandy Old Fashioned. A barspoon of Ramazzotti works here too.
