Didn't quite come together for me until wifey suggested a maraschino cherry. Adds just a touch more depth. And should that be dashes for the Ango/cream citrate, not drops?

Hi Lesliec, yes it's drops. I just wanted a bit more spices  without interfering too much with the flavor profile.

I do not like too much Angostura (1 or 2 dashes) when it's not the purpose of really tasting it.

For instance, one year ago i found i prefered an old fashionshed with 1 drop each ango, orange and peychaud bitters.

Maraschino cherry addition seems a very good idea. I love them!
