For a richer flavor, consider using a demerara simple syrup made with raw sugar. An egg white (added to the shaker before the ice) creates a frothy texture, resulting in a Boston Sour. Adjust the sweetness to your liking by modifying the amount of simple syrup. A few dashes of Angostura bitters can add an extra layer of complexity. If you don't have brandied cherries, Luxardo cherries work great.
