Mix up one of these beauties in the kitchen, then sit back and relax in the garden. Go on, you’ve earned it!!
Serves 1 thirsty gardener
Ingredients
- 250ml water
- 170g granulated sugar
- 200g fresh cherries (pitted)
- 60ml good quality vodka
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice
- Soda water
- Plenty of ice cubes
Step One
Heat water, sugar and cherries (leave a couple for a garnish) together in a small saucepan until the sugar has dissolved. Take off the heat, crush the cherries with a potato masher and leave to cool. You have now made cherry syrup!
Step Two
Take a cocktail maker or a jam jar, fill with ice, the cherry syrup, vodka and lemon juice and shake well. Tip into a glass and top up with soda water. Place the leftover cherries as a garnish. Cheers!
