Ingredients

  • 12 fresh cherries, pitted
  • pinch of sugar
  • 8 ice cubes, crushed
  • 2/3 cup lemonade
  • 2 oz bourbon
  • extra cherries for garnish

Instructions

  • 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.
