Kirsch is a very versatile spirit. Unlike maraschino liqueur or aged cherry brandies, it can be used as a base for a drink without it overwhelming your senses with bitterness or sweetness. Kammer Kirsch is 95 proof, too. A little goes a long way, but it's flavor is akin to tequila or light rum. So you can treat it like vodka, but you get something with taste--a dry, dark and somewhat bitter black cherry flavor that won't add sugar. That means it is ripe for the refreshing Rickey.
- 2 oz. kirschwasser
- 1 tbsp. lime juice
- club soda
- two pitted black cherries (maraschino used)
Build drink in a highball glass filled with ice with lime and kirsch first. Top with soda and stir gently. Add black cherries for garnish.
