Ingredients
- 1/3 cup fresh cherries pitted and sliced (or frozen may be substituted)
- 1 - 1.5 oz bourbon omit for mocktail
- 1/2-1 Tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract Or try bourbon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ice cubes or crushed ice
- club soda
Instructions
- Cut or pit about 1/3 of a cup of fresh (or frozen) cherries and place into an old fashioned glass.
- Pour the bourbon over the cherries and then the vanilla, I made homemade vanilla using a bottle of bourbon, so this was bourbon vanilla, either is fine.
- Then add in maple syrup, lemon juice and using a muddler or the end of a thick wooden spoon, gently smash the cherries with the liquids, releasing their juices and flavors.
- Fill glass with ice (I used my Ninja blender and crushed ice), top off the glass with club soda, using a spoon gently stir and bring up some of the cherries to the top for a delicious, refreshing, stunning cocktail or mocktail.

Notes
