12 fresh cherries, pitted pinch of sugar 8 ice cubes, crushed 2/3 cup lemonade 2 oz bourbon extra cherries for garnish
Using a small knife, pit 12 cherries by slicing around the pit and twisting to remove.
Add 6 cherries to each glass plus a pinch of sugar.
Using a muddler or wooden spoon, smash the cherries in each cocktail glass until they start to release some of their juices.
Add crushed ice into each glass. (You can crush the ice cubes in a blender or crush in a thick ziploc bag using a kitchen mallet to smash the ice.)
In a cocktail shaker or mason jar, add the lemonade and bourbon and shake a couple times.
Then, pour the lemonade-bourbon mixture into the glasses, splitting evenly and top with a cherry for garnish.
