Drink Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cherries

    Wash the fresh cherries thoroughly under running water. Remove the stems and pits, then place them in a cocktail shaker.

  2. 2

    Muddle the Cherries

    Using a muddler or the back of a spoon, gently crush the cherries in the shaker to release their juices.

  3. 3

    Add Liquids

    Pour the vodka, cherry juice, lemon juice, and simple syrup into the shaker with the muddled cherries.

  4. 4

    Shake the Mixture

    Add ice cubes to the shaker, cover it with the lid, and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds until well chilled.

  5. 5

    Strain into Glass

    Strain the mixture into a glass filled with ice or a chilled cocktail glass to remove the cherry pulp.

  6. 6

    Top with Club Soda

    Slowly pour the club soda over the strained mixture to add a fizzy element to the drink.

  7. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Garnish the drink with fresh mint leaves and a few whole cherries on top. Serve immediately and enjoy your Cherry Bomb!
