Sour cherry bourbon smash

Course after work, Drinks

Ingredients
  

  • 60 ml bourbon I used Makers Mark
  • 20 ml fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 10-15 sour cherries pitted

Instructions
 

  • In a glass of your choosing muddle the cherries with the sugar
  • Add the lemon juice and the bourbon
  • Top the whole thing with ice*
  • Using a bar spoon muddle/mix the whole thing and add more ice as you go, so the glass fills to the rim
  • Decorate with more cherries and some lemon slices and serve

Notes

*Ice - getting quality crushed ice is very hard, so I put regular ice in a cocktail shaker or any container safe enough and kind of beat it with a muddler. There will be larger peaces and some snow like small peaces so it has this "homey" feeling.
