Glassware & Tools
Method
Cocktail
- 1
Prepare glass
Fill a highball or Collins glass with 4–5 ice cubes to chill.
- 2
Measure and add 15 ml cherry liqueur into the chilled glass over the ice.
- 3
Add 15 ml fresh lime juice and 7.5 ml simple syrup to the glass for balance.
- 4
If using, add 2 dashes of black cherry bitters and/or 5 ml cherry syrup to deepen the cherry flavor.
- 5
- 6
Give the cocktail one or two gentle stirs with a bar spoon to integrate the liqueur and citrus without flattening the seltzer.
- 7
Garnish with one fresh black cherry or a maraschino cherry on a pick. Optionally, squeeze a lime wedge over the top before dropping it in.
Serving & Notes
- 8
Serve immediately while fizzy. This is a light, refreshing gluten-free highball-style cocktail with an amplified black cherry profile.
- 9
Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing simple syrup (7.5 ml increments). For a nonalcoholic version, replace the White Claw with a gluten-free black cherry sparkling water and substitute cherry liqueur with 15 ml cherry syrup.
