Posted a day late so as not to ruin the surprise… I made a valentine for my valentine, including a card and a heart shaped cherry cake. Cherries was actually the theme of the day as maraschino cherries are one of his favorites.
Today’s thing is a cocktail:
Ingredients
2 oz. Crown Royal
1/2 oz. Punt e Mes (or other quinquina or sweet red vermouth)
6 dashes Fee’s bitters (or other orange bitters)
100% black cherry juice (Knudsen’s Just Black Cherry or similar)
soda water
Preparation
Mix Crown Royal, Punt e Mes and Fee’s bitters in a lowball glass. Fill with equal parts black cherry juice and soda water. Stir and enjoy.
No photo - but imagine a nice dark red, slightly fizzy beverage in a lowball glass.
