Comments

The "Rubescent Glow" is, in my opinion, a great drink. I used Baker's 7 year (107 proof) for the bourbon. The cocktail is well-balanced, and if sipped slowly, you'll enjoy multiple overtones from all of the ingredients, including both cherry notes. Don't hesitate to make this drink. It will surely end up on your list of favorite cocktails. Sip and enjoy! I rated this drink at 4.5.

I tried this with a 46% high west bourbon.
+1 with Mojo.
With the list of ingredients you cannot imagine that in fact it's sooooo good.
I was perplex, worrying a result on the sweet cherry side, no variation in taste.

But rhubarb bitters adds a lot of complexity with the other ingredients.
5*.

Try.
