- Stir, top with more crushed ice, then garnish with a sprig of mint.
Notes
Orgeat is an almond and orange blossom flavored syrup used in many classic cocktails. You can purchase high quality orgeat from brands like Liber & Co. If you'd like to make you own instead, visit my Ultimate Guide to Cocktail Syrups for full recipe details!
Cheery Heering is a cherry liqueur featured in many famous cocktails like the Singapore Sling. For this recipe, you can substitute with another high quality liqueur if you're not able to find this specific brand.
