bkemp1984 commented on 5/31/2022:

Made with Kammer Kirsch and Leopold Bros Maraschino, with a pitted sour cherry I had just picked in the yard. Very good stuff. I don't mind the dryness but I'd add at least a splash of simple next time for a slight bit of balance. Lovers of cherry flavors will like this.

EDIT: Couple months later made this as a frozen drink after getting a Vitamix. Added a good bit of simple (didn't measure) and it was good, but still needed additional sugar more than the regular cocktail needed any sugar. Either way, having fruit juice and simple means it blends very well into a frozen cocktail.

  • I agree it's a bit sweet, but the flavor profile is promising. I added some lemon (3/4 oz) and egg white (3/4 oz), and a touch (1/4 oz) of Licor 43 to make it into a "creamsicle" sour. This brought it up to 4 stars.
  • A bit too sweet. Maybe adding another ingredient that adds a slight bitterness would improve this. — ★★★★
