- 2 oz rye whiskey or bourbon
- 2 oz kriek*
- cherries** or orange twist for garnish

Notes
*The flavors of Kriek are so complex and sophisticated that it completely eliminates the need of using bitters to balance the combination of whiskey and sweet vermouth. Kriek has a subtle cherry sweetness matched by a subtle sour taste, it is dry, with funky notes, vanilla, oak and orange.
**Try morello cherries instead of traditional maraschino or luxardo. Their slightly sour taste perfectly complements the kriek.
