Um WOW!!! I used the optional ingredients plus some haha. This was a very tasty drink! I used a homemade cherry sorbet to kick this up a bit as suggested. It was quite a bit strong so the sorbet helped tame the presence of all of the liquor. Next time I make this I think I will add abit more club soda to top it off with.
