Spring Cleaning

1 1⁄2 oz Gin, Catoctin Creek
1 1⁄2 oz Pisco, Macchu pisco
4 Cherry
3 ds Bitters
3 cube Sugar
Instructions

Shake gin, pisco, bitters on ice, strain in vessel of choice. Drop sugar cubes in and merely crush. Add cherries and give it all a couple brisk stirs.

Notes

I used Ole Smoky Tennessee Moonshine Cherries which are cleaner than Luxardos and a good fit for this clear drink, some fresh cherries pitted are a good alternative. The pisco is pretty hard to mix generally but the Catoctin Creek Watershed Gin has a distinct flavor which works well. And finally, the crushed sugar cubes swirled with the cherries is a unique presentation and infusion of sweetness.

Curated this - changed 45 cl to 45 ml, unless 15 ounces of pisco is appropriate.

Thanks,

Curated this - changed maraschino cherry syrup to Maraschino liqueur, as per the picture. Sangue Morlacco is their cherry liqueur. Removed "fresh juice" from the lime... we assume fresh juices, etc...

Thanks,

Zachary
