Notes
Fresh cherries work best for garnish during summer months when in season. Store-bought maraschino cherries can be used as a substitute.
The recipe makes one serving. Double or triple the ingredients to serve more guests, but mix each drink individually for the best taste.
This drink can be made less sweet by reducing the cherry liqueur to 1/2 oz or adding an extra splash of lemon juice.
