Ingredients

  • 1/3 Cup Fresh Cherries, halved and pitted
  • 1 Tsp Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1 Tsp Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 1 1/2 Oz Bourbon
  • Cherry 7UP
  • Fresh mint, for garnishing

Instructions

  • To a rocks (cocktail) glass, add the fresh cherries. Use a muddler and gently muddle the cherries until they release some of their juices. (Don’t be too rough or your drink will look unappetizing at the end.)
  • Add the lemon juice, vanilla, and bourbon.
  • Fill the rocks glass with ice and then top it off with the cherry 7UP, filling 3/4 of the way full.
  • Give the cocktail a stir, bringing some of the cherries from the bottom to the top. Garnish with mint. Enjoy!
