Ingredients

  • 2 oz gin
  • 1 oz cherry liqueur
  • 1 oz fresh lemon juice
  • 4-5 fresh cherries pitted
  • 2-3 fresh mint leaves optional
  • 2-3 oz club soda
  • 0.5 oz simple syrup adjust to taste
  • Ice cubes
  • Extra cherries or lemon slices for garnish

Instructions

  • Toss cherries and mint into a cocktail shaker.

Notes

Use London dry gin for a crisp flavor or fruity gin for added sweetness. Fresh cherries give better color and taste, but thawed frozen cherries work too. Avoid over-muddling mint to prevent bitterness.
