CHERRY AND SMOKE
In this alcohol-free cocktail, the campfire smokiness of the Lapsang Souchong, (which is brewed strong, so that the tannins intensify), is such a good counterpoint to the sweet, tart stone fruit.

Tips:
- Use frozen cherries: Frozen cherries are easier to work with and will help to keep your slush cold and slushy.
- Adjust the sweetness to your liking: If you like your slush sweeter, add more sugar or honey. If you prefer it less sweet, use less or omit the sweetener altogether.
- Make it ahead of time: Cherry slush can be made ahead of time and stored in the freezer for up to 2 weeks. Just thaw it in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours before serving.
- Garnish with fresh cherries: For a festive touch, garnish your slush with fresh cherries before serving.
