History
Recreating the classic pairing of almond and cherry is possible thanks to Heering cherry liqueur and Disaronno amaretto, a spirit that despite its nutty flavour actually contains no nuts, being made instead from peach stones. These ingredients give the distinct Bakewell flavour but to offset their powerful sweetness we combine them with dry cranberry juice and tart, fresh lemon.
Lastly, to give the drink its final fun flourish and eponymous fizz, we employ a splash of cream soda. This retro addition gives the light vanilla creaminess that helps this cocktail to mimic the flavours of its namesake so effectively. This is fast becoming one of our new favourite cocktails.
