Ingredients
For one drink
- ½ cup fresh cherries (pitted; see note*)
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1.5 oz one shot bourbon
- 3 teaspoons superfine sugar (see note**)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ice cubes
- soda water (¼ cup or so)
Instructions
- In the bottom of a glass, combine the cherries, vanilla extract, bourbon, sugar and lemon juice. Muddle together until cherries are broken and juices are released (you can use the back of a wooden spoon if you don't have a muddler).
- Top with ice cubes and a small splash of club soda if desired.
Notes
*fresh cherries may be swapped for frozen pitted cherries, but thaw before muddling
**superfine sugar is granulated sugar that has been blended until powdery; it may be purchased at the grocery store and is labelled 'berry sugar' in Canada. You can swap it for an equal volume of maple syrup
