Instructions

Here’s how I make this delightful cocktail:

Fill the shaker with ice, gin, lemon juice, and cherry syrup.

Shake well for about 10 seconds.
Strain into a tall glass filled with ice.
Top off with club soda, then stir gently.

Garnish with cherries and lemon slices. 🍋

Notes

For a unique twist, I sometimes add a splash of lime juice. It adds an exciting tanginess. 🍹

If you’re not a fan of gin, try vodka. This adjustment creates a smooth variation. For those who prefer less sweet drinks, reducing cherry syrup works well.

Tasting Notes

Ah, the Charming Cherry Collins! 🍒 This delightful cocktail is a burst of flavors. It’s like a party in my mouth with a balance of sweet and tart.

First Sip: I taste the fresh cherry juice, bringing a natural sweetness. It’s not too strong, just perfect.
Mid-Palate: The lemon juice adds a zesty twist, waking up my taste buds.

The gin’s botanical notes add depth. It’s smooth and blends well with the cherries and lemon. Just enough fizz from the soda gives it that refreshing kick. 🥂

Finish: A hint of bitterness lingers, thanks to the cherry. It’s refreshing and sophisticated, leaving me wanting more.

I love how versatile this cocktail is. It’s great for a summer afternoon or a cozy evening by the fire.
