This fun and refreshing mocktail (or cocktail!) is a fun way to use those summer cherries that are upon us right now. With some fizz and a minty twist, this drink is perfect for a weeknight splurge or double/tripe the recipe when entertaining guests!
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cherries pitted *try our cherry pitter to make this quick and painless!
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup choice of club soda, sparking water (Cherry Sparkling Ice anyone?)
- Splash of lime juice
- Opt: Wedges of lime, lemon, or even mint leaves
- 2 ounces of vodka or gin
Make It:
- Pit those cherries! Toss them in a small saucepot with the water and honey over low/medium heat. Stir and cook for about 7-8 minutes until looking really nice and juicy. You'll know. Remove from heat and let cool.
- You can blend cherry mixture with a food processor or blender; however, a muddler will do if you want to skip that whole clean up process!
- Mix in your favorite fancy glass with some ice, mint leaves, lime juice to taste and enjoy
