Drink of the Day: Canadian Cherry

October 22, 2014 | By | Add a Comment

Canadian whisky is a great spirit to use as the base to any whisky cocktails. Here is a great example of that. As aromatically enjoyable as it is tasty, this is a nice pre-dinner treat to ready yourself for a nice hearty meal. The citrus and maraschino liqueur in moderation bring the good notes of the Canadian whisky to the forefront. The aroma before you take your first sip is a nice welcome to what will be an enjoyable imbibing experience.

Happy Hump Day, everyone. We are halfway there. Here’s a nice quencher to help you along the way. Enjoy!
