CHERRY SMASH

This is a variation of a whiskey cocktail. It's a sipping drink and so good. Super swanky and very retro with a modern twist. It's my new favorite drink.

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup fresh pitted Bing cherries
1/4 cup kirsch (clear cherry brandy)
1/4 cup sugar
1 cup ice cubes
6 tablespoons Courvoisier or other premium Cognac
1/4 cup orange curaçao
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon Cherry Heering liqueur or other cherry liqueur

Steps:

  • Combine cherries, kirsch, and sugar in medium bowl; stir to blend. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours, stirring occasionally. (Brandied cherries can be made 2 weeks ahead. Cover and chill.)
  • Place 2 Martini glasses in freezer and chill at least 2 hours.
  • Place 3 brandied cherries in each of 2 chilled glasses; crush cherries with back of spoon. Combine ice cubes, Cognac, orange curaçao, lemon juice, and cherry liqueur in cocktail shaker. Shake well, strain into Martini glasses with cherries, and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe, sweet cherries for the best flavor.
  • Use a muddler or spoon to gently smash the cherries, but do not over-muddle, as this can release the pits and make the drink bitter.
  • If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you can use a jar with a tight-fitting lid.
  • Chill the glasses before serving for a refreshing drink.
  • Garnish with a cherry or a lime wedge for a finishing touch.
