After Dinner Special

AFTER DINNER SPECIAL
.75 oz. cherry brandy (Cherry Heering)
1.5 oz. Swedish Punsch (homemade)
1 oz. lime juice

Combine with ice; shake. Strain over ice. 

Brian
It’s good. Lime and Cherry Heering. I can’t taste
the punsch. Not overpowering lime.

Jason
The bitter part is the punsch. This is a citrus bomb.

Brian
Ladies will like this one.

Jason
That’s a drink for a girl that’s seen a thing or two.

Eric
I don’t love it but it’s still better than anything we’ve had.
I don’t know how that is possible, but it is. The punsch is
so weird. What would you do to improve this cocktail?

Brian
I don’t think I would do anything. It’s just one of
those drinks.

Eric
It is what it is. Would you drink this again?

Brian
Maybe.

I’m not really sure why this is called the AFTER DINNER SPECIAL. Both of these “after dinner” drinks are not something I would generally have after dinner.
