A refreshing summer cocktail combining the sweetness of cherries with smooth gin, tart lemon, and a fizzy club soda finish for a crisp, balanced drink.
Add gin, cherry liqueur, lemon juice, and simple syrup.
Fill shaker with ice and shake for 10–15 seconds.
Strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice.
Top with club soda.
Stir gently and garnish with a cherry or lemon slice.
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.
