Shake liquid ingredients with ice, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass or coupe. Garnish with orange peel.
Cherry Heering from Denmark is what was originally called for.
Made it with Talisker 10, blood oranges, Licardo, and Antica Formula vermouth and it was slightly sweet but good. Just enough smoke.
I used Cherry Heering and was fortunate enough to have some blood oranges I could juice. Great drink! A little too sticky sweet for me, not sticky sweet enough for my husband. So the amount of cherry liqueur should be adjusted based on your sweet tooth.
Delicious cocktail. Made it with lagavulin 16 and luxardo. I used a regular orange instead of a blood one. It was still good but definitely would have been better with blood orange.
I recommended using Luxardo (or similar) instead of Heering's. Way more delicious. Also, dry vermouth worked better than sweet, like a perfect Manhattan. This made a great pre-Thanksgiving dinner cocktail.
This is even better with tangerine juice.
for european purposes- 3/4 ounce would be about 2 cl...is that correct?
Sweet cherry liqueur or kirschwasser type brandy??
