The Rose
2 oz. Dry Vermouth
1 oz. Kirschwasser
1 tsp. Raspberry Syrup
Shake. Strain. Garnish with a Maraschino cherry.
I was nervous about a drink which uses dry vermouth as the base, but it’s goooood. Just a touch of sweet in a pretty dry drink. The kirsch seems to bridge the gap between the syrup and the vermouth.
Although it tastes a little like a Luden’s. Haven’t had one since I was a kid, but I think that’s what it reminds me of.
