For a richer flavor, consider using a demerara simple syrup made with raw sugar.
An egg white (added to the shaker before the ice) creates a frothy texture, resulting in a Boston Sour.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by modifying the amount of simple syrup.
A few dashes of Angostura bitters can add an extra layer of complexity.
If you don't have brandied cherries, Luxardo cherries work great.

    The tip about using demerara syrup took this to the next level. So delicious!

    I found the drink a little too sour for my taste, so I added an extra half-ounce of simple syrup, and it was perfect!

  • August Schuster

    This recipe is so much better than the ones I've tried before! The instructions are clear, and the straining makes a huge difference in the texture.

  • Cheyenne Keeling

    The brandied cherries are an excellent touch - they add a wonderful finish.
