Ingredients

40ml dry gin (we use 1919 Dry Gin or Roots Dry Gin)
25ml Americano Bitters (we choose St George Spirits Bruto Americano for its bright menthol finish)
25ml sweet vermouth (we use Ried + Ried for its depth and spice)
4 drops Ballin Wild Mint Bitters
15ml tart cherry juice from a jar of cherries or from an off-the-shelf product (most good organic stores stock them)
orange zest, to serve
fresh or cured cherry, to serve
