History

A lemon cherry vodka sour with added complexity from the judicious use of bitters.

This Vodka Cocktail is adapted from a recipe in Crosby Gaige's 1944 Standard Cocktail Guide. It calls for 1 jigger Vodka, ¾ ounce Cherry Brandy, and the juice of ½ Lemon. The preparation involves shaking with cracked ice.
