A little help from a friend... the cherry bakewell sour

Cherry Bakewell Sour cocktail
I love a good Bakewell tart, but if you’re not English or a fan of The Great British Baking Show you might not know what I’m talking about. Just to bring everyone up to speed a traditional Bakewell tart is strawberry jam toped with an almond sponge and feathered icing, it’s very good. So when I saw a cocktail recipe for a Cherry Bakewell Sour on speakeasier.co.uk I was instantly intrigued. 

​The original recipe calls for a flavored Polish vodka call Soplica which imparts the majority of the cherry and almond notes to the original recipe. I couldn’t get my hands on the specific vodka brand used so I substituted with amaretto and cherry herring. In order to bring the drink back to being vodka forward I increased the straight vodka and cut out the Chambord. I used slightly less lemon juice, which is just to my personal taste. I included red tinted cherry vanilla bark bitters to create the design in the foam, for a little olfactory moment, I think almond would work here as well. If you would like to see the original recipe you can link to it here.
