For a smokier flavor, try using a bourbon with a high rye content. Adjust the amount of cherry juice to your preference. Start with a dash and add more if desired. Chill your martini glass beforehand for an extra touch of elegance. Experiment with different types of bitters, such as orange bitters, for a unique flavor profile.
