I'm always looking for new, original cocktails that stand out from the rest and the Cherry Bitch is one of those. It gets its name from the brand of gin that created it, Bulldog Gin. This one is intriguing because it brings back the revitalized technique of muddling, but instead of citrus, sugar and mint, which are commonly muddled, the Cherry Bitch muddles fresh cherries. The flavor of the entire cocktail is complex with black currant, orange, lime and apple which highlight the cherries and unique Bulldog Gin.
