Equipment

  • jigger
  • highball glass
  • Hawthorne strainer
  • cocktail shaker
  • bar spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 2 oz Cherry Vodka
  • 4 oz Lemonade
  • ice
  • Lemon wheel optional garnish
  • Maraschino Cherry optional garnish

Instructions
 

  • Get together all the items needs for this cocktail.
  • Take some ice and toss it into the highball glass. It should be almost to the top.
  • Take the cherry vodka and the jigger. Measure out 2 oz of cherry vodka. Toss it into the glass.
  • Take the lemonade and the jigger. Measure out 4 oz of lemonade. Toss it into the glass.
    Note: You can skip measuring the lemonade if you want. Instead of using the jigger, simply top the glass off with lemonade.
  • To mix the drink up, there are two methods:
    1) Toss the contents of the glass into the shaker and then from the shaker back into the glass.
    2) Stick the bar spoon into the glass. Give it a few good stirs.
  • If adding an optional garnish -
    1) Pop a few cherries on top of the drink.
    2) Cut a lemon into wheels. Cut a notch in the side of the wheel and put it on the rim of the glass.

Notes

Instead of building this drink in the glass, you can also build it in the shaker.  For this method:
    1. Also fill the shaker with ice.
    2. Measure the ingredients into the shaker.
    3. Put the top on the shaker.
    4. Shake it up for 15 seconds or so.
    5. Put the strainer on top of the shaker.
    6. Pour the drink into the glass.
