Cherry Bomb Cocktail
Get ready for a flavor explosion with this vibrant Cherry Bomb! Sweet cherries mingle with warm vanilla and a hint of citrus, perfect with a splash of bourbon for a delightful cocktail, or just as delicious as a refreshing mocktail.
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup fresh cherries pitted
- 1 – 1.5 oz bourbon omit for mocktail
- ½ – 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup adjust to taste
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract or bourbon vanilla for extra depth
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Ice cubes or crushed ice
- Club soda
Instructions
- Muddle the Cherries: In a sturdy glass, add the sliced cherries and maple syrup. Gently muddle the cherries with a muddler or the back of a spoon to release their juices. Don’t over-muddle; you want some texture remaining.
- Add Flavor & Spirit (Optional): Stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice. If making a cocktail, add the bourbon now and stir gently.
- Ice It Up: Fill the glass with ice cubes or crushed ice.
- Top with Fizz: Top the glass off with club soda for a refreshing fizz.
- Stir and Enjoy! Give it a gentle stir and enjoy your Cherry Bomb! Garnish with a fresh cherry if desired.
