Ingredients

6 fresh cherries, pitted
1/2 lime, cut into 3 wedges
2 teaspoons sugar
3 ounces gin
1 cup crushed ice

Directions

Put the cherries, lime, and sugar into a large rocks glass. Muddle the fruit and sugar by pressing them with a pestle or a wooden spoon until juicy and fragrant. Add the gin and crushed ice. Cover with a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously, or stir, until combined and chilled, about 30 seconds. (In general, by the time the shaker mists up the drink is ready.) Serve.

Cherry Lime Ricky
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I read the ingredients and how to make this drink, which sounds lovely. I hope to try it someday, but I don't care for gin.... My comment, it says to use CRUSHED ICE, then why does the picture show cubes of ice in the glass? Dah! Now - after taking a few minutes to register it won't post my review, I have to rate it. I have not ever tasted it so how can I rate it. So I will give it two stars just to post review.Read more

got gin?
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I love gin and cherries. This drink is fabulous and sweet. I'm not a real drinker maybe once or twice a year at the... holidays. This is a nice drink to have for supper on the weekend.Read more
