History:
We're indebted to Gareth "G" Franklin of Luxardo fame for bringing this brilliantly named recipe, adapted from a drink originally created in 2018 by Filip Palkiewicz at Mercy Brown, Kraków, Poland, to our attention. Naturally, G uses Luxardo's excellent Sangue Morlacco cherry liqueur when he makes this drink.
Review:
We do like a pun, especially a tasty pun. Sweet and sour cherry fortified with gin notes and subtle freshening crème de menthe and delicate chocolate.
