Rich, rounded and softly smoky, our Wild Cherry is a boulevardier made to be sipped slowly. We smoke Buffalo Trace bourbon in-house over cherry wood, then balance it with Campari and Bolney Rosso Vermouth, made here in Sussex. The glass is smoked before serving and finished with a maraschino cherry. It’s a bourbon cocktail with a Sussex twist, perfect for cold evenings, slow dinners and after-dinner drinks by the fire.

Maraschino cherry, to garnish
Add the bourbon, Campari and vermouth to a mixing glass filled with ice, and stir for 1 minute.
Using a smoker, gently smoke a rocks glass with cherry wood chips, then add fresh ice.
