Cherry & Lemon Gin Cocktail...Cherry Lemonade for Grown-Ups
This cherry lemon gin cocktail is a perfect take on hard cherry lemonade, a sweet & tart balance made with intense, delicious Sangue Morlacco cherry liqueur.
Servings: 1 cocktail
Ingredients
- 1 ounce of gin
- 1/2 ounce of Sangue Morlacco cherry liqueur
- 1/2 ounce of fresh lemon juice
- Optional: 1/4 ounce of simple syrup
Instructions
- In a cocktail shaker with plenty of ice, add the gin, cherry liqueur, fresh lemon juice, simple syrup.
- Shake for 10-15 seconds, until well-chilled.
- Strain into a small coupe or Nick & Nora glass. Garnish with lemon peel if desired.
Notes
- I often make this as a sipping "on the rocks" kind of drink too, and basically double the amounts and strain into a rocks glass with ice (crushed or cubes).
