  • Hard to go wrong. The raspberry is surprisingly subtle for a cocktail with this name.

Very easy going - reminds me of a few other rye-based cocktails, but the bonal and raspberry go well together and make this one unique!

Shawn C commented on 9/19/2023:

A very nice, well-crafted combination. The dark cherry is there from the Heering, with the bitters providing a bourbon barrel essence to boost a basic mixing bourbon, while the amaro provides some bittersweet orange, clove, some root and spices. There is a lot of flavor to explore.

MOJO1229 commented on 2/14/2018:

A great cocktail for bourbon lovers. I had to scramble for ingredients. Lacking Elijah Craig Bourbon (it got finished off last November) I reached for Woodford Reserve. And lacking R & W cherry liqueur, I grabbed for Luxardo liqueur. Together, these ingredients made this wonderful libation. But, I suspect that Black Forest Cocktail would have been in the 4.0 range had I the called for ingredients. As it was, I rated Black Forest Cocktail 4.5 with what I could pull down from my shelves. A great cocktail, regardless!

Craig E commented on 2/15/2018:

It's worth noting for the record that Rothman and Winter cherry liqueur and Luxardo maraschino liqueur are radically different in flavor profile (though either might well work in this drink!).

lesliec commented on 2/16/2018:

I used Cherry Heering because ... it was there. Not bad, but we felt it needed something to round it out a little. Maybe turn it into a flip with a whole egg?

ABQUIAT@YAHOO.COM commented on 9/26/2025:

Just tried this; the only cherry liquor I have is Luxardo, but it was quite serviceable. It's a delightful drink!

Perish The Thought

1 1⁄2 oz Sweet vermouth, Carpano Antica Formula
1⁄4 oz Vanilla syrup (Fat)
4 oz Cava, Naveran Brut nature

This particular Cava is very high-acid and salty. Your mileage may vary.
