I dream up and experiment with cocktail recipes. Then I share my favorite every Monday. Give something a try if it sounds good to you. If you stick with me, every week will include a flavor adventure.

Sticky Cherry

This cordial gets it's color and sweetness from cherry preserves. Begins with an almond aroma, mingles with honey, and finishes distinctly cherry. Excellent paired with dark chocolate - but don't take my word for it.

Ingredients:

Cherry preserves
Honey
Almond extract
Brandy
Cherry

Take care to avoid fruit chunks and take 1 tablespoon cherry preserves with 1 teaspoon honey and ½ teaspoon almond extract. Mix and press through fine sieve to create a smooth thick syrup. Slice fresh cherry and place half in cordial glass. Add 2 tablespoons Brandy. Pour cherry mixture into Brandy and gently stir until fully incorporated.
