Black Cherry Old Fashioned
Juicy dark cherries meet smooth, boozy warmth, this classic just got a glamorous upgrade. A rich rum swagger and a touch of mischief make it the drink you didn’t know you needed tonight.
INGREDIENTS
- 60ml Black Cherry and Vanilla Rum
- 15ml black cherry syrup
- 2 dashes bitters
- 2 black cherries
- Bar spoon of simple syrup
- Garnish – black cherries, orange peel
METHOD
- Toss the cherries and the simple syrup into a jug or mixing glass and muddle them gently.
- Add everything else along with ice.
- Stir with a bar spoon (about 30 seconds)
- Strain into glass.
- Garnish with the cherries and some orange peel
NOTES
Want more cherry flavor? Splash in some extra cherry juice or bitters.
If you don’t have black cherry syrup, just muddle a couple more cherries and a bar spoon of sugar.
A big ice cube looks great and keeps the drink from getting watered down.
