A nearly zero-proof valentine of sour cherries and bitter chocolate. The "nearly" is because most aromatic bitters are alcoholic infusions, but they're used in such small doses many consider them fair game in creating non-alcoholic drinks. That said, if your aim is a completely dry cocktail, this isn't your drink. The simple syrup can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 6 months. Tart cherry juice is available in many grocery stores. This recipe uses chocolate bitters, which are widely available in good spirits stores and online, but you can substitute Angostura, if need be.1 serving
Make the simple syrup: Combine the sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring just to a boil; once the sugar has dissolved, remove from the heat. The yield is about 1 cup. Cool completely.
Make the drink: Put a large ice-cube in a rocks glass. In a mixing glass, stir together the bitters, cherry juice and simple syrup. Pour over the large ice cube and top with a generous splash of tonic water. Garnish with a cocktail pick of cherries or a star anise pod.
