Bourbon Cherry Old Fashioned

While this cocktail is extremely summery with its perfectly sweet summertime cherries, it also feels warm and cozy at the same time.  

Ingredients:

4-6 fresh cherries, pitted

juice from half a lime

dash of orange bitters

1-2 tablespoons honey

2 ounces bourbon, more or less to taste

fresh mint and cherries for garnish

Instructions:

Muddle the cherries, lime juice, orange bitters, and honey in a cocktail shaker or glass jar until the cherries are well mashed and have released their juices. Add the bourbon and shake to combine.

Strain (or not, I leave my cherries in!) into a cocktail glass filled with ice. If desired top with sparking water. Garnish with mint and cherries …then drink!
