Ingredients

Scale
  • 12-15 fresh cherries, stems removed, pitted, and minced *see note
  • juice of 1 large lime
  • 1 ounce blanco tequila
  • 1/2 ounce Grand Marnier
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons agave nectar or honey for sweetness
  • ice
  • tonic water

Garnish

  • Lime wedges
  • Fresh cherries

Instructions

  1. Combine the minced cherries, lime juice, tequila, Grand Marnier, agave nectar, and a 3 or 4 cubes of ice into a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for at least 30 seconds. Use a fine mesh strainer to strain the liquid into a cocktail glass pressing on the solids with the back of a spoon to release all of the moisture. Add ice to fill the glass and top with a splash of tonic for a bubbly effect. Stir to combine and garnish with a lime wedge and cherry.

Notes

To make quick work of mincing the cherries simply place them in a food processor and process them until they are chopped very fine
