An excellent, crushable late-Spring/early Summer Sidecar/Sour riff from Jane Danger during her time at cocktail revival OG PDT 🍒🍒 The ripe cherry flavor is boosted by the Maraschino liqueur and it works very well next to the botanical notes in the gin and the bright/tart lemon while the simple syrup balances the acidity. One of my favorites during the (relatively) short cherry season! Muddle 2-3 ripe, pitted cherries in .5 oz Simple Syrup (1:1) Add: 2 oz Gin (Bottle that works well with citrus like Plymouth, Ford’s, Four Pillars, etc is recommended) 1 oz Fresh Lemon Juice .5 oz Maraschino Liqueur (Luxardo or Leopold Brothers; feel free to spike an additional 1/2 tsp of Kirsch too, if handy) Shake with ice and strain into a chilled double rocks glass with crushed ice. Garnish with a pitted cherry
