Cherry Nice

Perfect for warm-weather sipping, this refreshing cocktail was created for us by the experts at Cask, whose artisan beverages combine fine spirits, fresh ingredients and time-honored techniques. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 3/4 cups silver rum
  • 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbs. fresh lemon juice 
  • 1/2 cup agave nectar 
  • Crushed ice as needed 
  • 6 maraschino cherries plus juice from jar 

Directions:

In a pitcher, whisk together the rum, lemon juice and agave nectar until combined. Refrigerate until cold. Pour the mixture into a Twist ’n Sparkle bottle and carbonate according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Let rest for 1 minute.

Fill 6 double old-fashioned glasses with crushed ice. Pour the cocktail over the ice, float with maraschino cherry juice and garnish each with a maraschino cherry. Serve immediately. Serves 6.
