History:
Adapted from a recipe created in 2022 by Kat "The Queen of Tequila" Stanley Whyte of the The American Bar at The Savoy in London, England.
Review:
A wonderfully complex Cherry Old Fashioned. Kat's original recipe calls for an Acerola cherry juice sugar syrup (1:1) which arguably has more of an apricot than cherry taste. Ideally, you'd make this syrup to make the cocktail but I found cherry brandy (or even equal parts cherry and apricot brandy liqueurs) work well as an alternative, and produce a more radiant cocktail (as photographed).
