Hints

  1. It's best to make this drink with homemade lemonade. The recipe we have in the app is made with ingredients you should already have in your bar, and it takes less than a minute to make.

  2. You can easily modify this drink by replacing the water on your homemade lemonade with club soda.

  3. You can optionally add a small amount of lime juice to make this drink a little more tart.

  4. You can add a few barspoons of Maraschino liqueur, or even Cherry Heering or Kirschwasser, to add a little more depth to this drink.

  5. Alternatively a dash or two of Cherry bitters would also work well!
