For a bolder flavor, consider using a higher-proof Southern Comfort.
Experiment with different types of bitters to find your perfect balance. Orange bitters can add a bright citrus note.
If you prefer a less sweet cocktail, adjust the amount of sweet vermouth to your liking.
A quality maraschino cherry makes all the difference. Look for jarred Luxardo cherries for a truly decadent experience.
