Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 oz (45 ml) Cherry Liqueur (e.g., Luxardo Maraschino or Cherry Heering)
  • 1 oz (30 ml) Vodka (e.g., Tito’s or Absolut)
  • 0.5 oz (15 ml) Fresh Lemon Juice
  • 3 oz (90 ml) Sparkling Soda (e.g., Fever-Tree Lemon or San Pellegrino Limonata)
  • 2–3 Maraschino Cherries (high-quality, e.g., Luxardo)
  • Ice Cubes
  • Optional: 0.25 oz (7 ml) Simple Syrup
  • Optional: Fresh Mint Leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Chill a highball or Collins glass in the freezer for about 5 minutes.
  2. Pour 1.5 oz cherry liqueur into a mixing glass or shaker.
  3. Add 1 oz vodka to the mixing glass.
  4. Squeeze 0.5 oz fresh lemon juice into the mix.
  5. Add 0.25 oz simple syrup if a sweeter cocktail is desired.
  6. Fill the mixing glass with 4-5 large ice cubes.
  7. Stir gently with a bar spoon for 15-20 seconds to chill and combine.
  8. Remove the chilled glass from the freezer and fill halfway with fresh ice cubes.
  9. Strain the cocktail mixture into the chilled glass.
  10. Slowly top with 3 oz sparkling soda to preserve fizz.
  11. Garnish with 2-3 maraschino cherries on a cocktail pick or dropped into the glass.

Notes

Use fresh lemon juice for best flavor. Avoid shaking the soda with spirits to prevent explosion. Pour soda over the back of a spoon to preserve fizz. Serve immediately for best taste and carbonation. High-quality cherry liqueur and sparkling soda enhance the cocktail’s flavor.
