Cherry Gin Fizz

I’ve been inspired to stir up the Cherry Gin Fizz cocktail as February is National Cherry month. The juniper notes in gin are a great match with cherry-flavored liqueurs and the soda adds a nice effervesence. Definitely give this refreshing cocktail a try!

1½ parts Beefeater Gin
½ part Hiram Walker Kirschwasser
½ part Hiram Walker Cherry Flavored Brandy
½ part Lime Juice
5 parts Club Soda

Mix first four ingredients in tall glass filled with ice. Top with club soda and garnish with cherry and lime wedge.

Ingredients

1 1/2 oz (45 ml) gin

1/2 oz (15 ml) Cherry Heering

1 1/2 teaspoons kirsch

1/2 oz (15 ml) lemon juice

3/4 teaspoon sugar

Soda water

1 slice lemon

1 maraschino cherry

Ooooh, I like the idea of adding the sugar to balance out against the tartness of the kirsch. Great idea, thanks!
