> The cherry ingredients do not clash or overpower the drink.

It depends on how you look at it. In a certain sense the cherry ingredients 
overpower each other and that might be improved. There are many types of 
cherry flavours (and red fruit flavours in general) which may become more 
appreciated when better recognisable. For instance, the cherry puree has a 
very fleshy ripe flavour. The raspberries may combine and add a fresh, green 
and aromatic perfume flavour. Although this combination is already dangerous. 
Combining rich full cherry and delicate raspberry means you get neither rich 
or delicate. Then this type of flavour is even more "demolished" by maraschino 
which has a more candied and nutty flavour. Adding the acidic and bitter 
cranberry makes it even more confusing. None of the flavours do really shine. 
And I havenīt even mentioned the Red Stag yet. I don't know how the Stag 
tastes but I can imagine that any high quality and subtle aspects of the Red 
Stag are lost or have become unbalanced.
