Cherry Lime Gin and Tonic
Description
This Cherry Lime Gin and Tonic cocktail is crafted by muddling or layering ripe bing cherries and lime wedges with crushed ice in a glass. Fresh lime juice and cherry juice add tartness and sweetness, respectively, while gin provides the spirit base. Tonic water adds effervescence and bitterness, balancing the fruit and alcohol.
The drink is stirred gently to combine without losing carbonation, served immediately to preserve the crushed ice and chilled quality. The fresh fruit garnish enhances the aroma and appearance.
Ideal as a refreshing cocktail, this drink highlights fresh and jarred cherry elements with bright lime, showcasing summer berry flavor profiles alongside the classic gin and tonic experience.

Instructions
- Fill a glass with the cherries, lime wedges and crushed ice. Pour the lime juice and cherry juice over the ice. Pour the gin over the ice, then add the tonic. Stir a few times to combine. Serve immediately!
