Here is another gin sour I keep in frequent rotation for my evening drink that comes from the PDT Cocktail Book I keep in frequent rotation for my evening drink. You must use a good quality cherry for this to work! I’ve tried this with many different gins, and it plays well with your classic London Dry as well as softer Plymouth. The cherry taste definitely reaches the stratosphere between the Luxardo liqueur and the muddled fruit.
