The Cherry Martini is a slow, thoughtful drink that leans more toward a Manhattan than a classic vodka martini. Built with sweet vermouth and maraschino liqueur, it shifts the focus away from sharpness and toward depth. Reyka vodka keeps the base clean and smooth, letting the dark fruit notes do the talking without adding heat or weight.

Foro Vermouth di Torino Rosso brings richness and gentle spice, while maraschino liqueur adds a subtle cherry-almond sweetness that rounds everything out. The result is a cocktail that feels rich but controlled, decadent without being heavy. Served straight up in a martini glass, The Cherry Martini is best enjoyed slowly - the kind of drink that rewards patience rather than speed.

Shaken or Stirred? Stirred. This is about clarity, texture, and calm.
