Instructions

Here's how I make this delightful cocktail:

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.
