CHERRY SMASH



Cherry Smash image

This is a variation of a whiskey cocktail. It's a sipping drink and so good. Super swanky and very retro with a modern twist. It's my new favorite drink.

CHERRY SMASH

Similar to a mojito, this can be made non-alcoholic if you like for a great summer bevy! NOTE: If your cherries aren't overly ripe, sweet and flavorful simply add a splash of Cherry Crystal Light (Kool-aid would be fine too) and it will be just perfect.
