I don’t like cherries, so I wasn’t a fan. Maybe it’s better with regular vodka?
I totally get where you’re coming from! Maybe you can try it with a different juice instead of cherry. It could be interesting to experiment!
Super easy to make, but I added a bit more lemon juice and it was too sour for me! Next time will adjust the syrup.
This drink is delicious! The cherry flavor is just perfect. 🍒
Totally agree! Cherry flavor is the best part. 🍹
