Cherry Bakewell
Cocktail recipe

Rating

3.87 / 5
Cherry Bakewell is a delicious cocktail that pays homage to the classic British dessert of the same name. This sweet and tart concoction combines the zesty tang of lime juice with the rich, nutty flavor of Amaretto and a splash of fruity Grenadine. The cocktail is named after the famous Bakewell tart, a pastry filled with jam and frangipane that originated in the English countryside town of Bakewell in the 19th century. Just like the dessert, this cocktail has a balanced and comforting flavor profile, perfect for sipping on a cozy evening. The cherry flavor from the Grenadine adds a hint of sweetness to the drink, making it a crowd-pleasing option for any occasion.
