Cupid’s Cherry Fizz Cocktail
Notes: Cupid's Cherry Fizz Cocktail Recipe: This is a very sweet cocktail, but you can easily adjust it to suit your taste. If you prefer a less sugary option, try substituting club soda for the 7UP. And if the drink has too strong of an alcohol taste, simply add a bit more lemon juice and maraschino cherry juice to balance the flavors. These simple tweaks can help you customize the cocktail to make it just right for you.
Ingredients
7 ounces cold 7-Up
1 tablespoon grenadine
1 tablespoon maraschino cherry juice
1 squirt of fresh lemon juice (plus extra for rimming the glass)
1 shot kirsch cherry liqueur
Pink sanding sugar (for rimming the glass)
Instructions
Prepare the glass: Run a wedge of fresh lemon around the rim of an 8-ounce glass. Dip the rim into a plate of pink sanding sugar to coat.
Fill a shaker with ice. Add the grenadine, maraschino cherry juice, lemon juice, and kirsch cherry liqueur. Shake well.
Pour the cold 7-Up into the prepared glass.
Strain the contents of the shaker into the glass with the 7-Up.
Stir gently and garnish with a maraschino cherry, if desired. Enjoy!
Typically made with cherry liqueur, vodka or gin, fresh lemon juice, and a splash of grenadine or sparkling water, this cocktail strikes a beautiful balance between sweet and refreshing.
