Did you know you could soak cherries in vodka? If you haven’t had drunken cherries, you should really try this recipe. The cherries really don’t lose their flavor, it’s more like the vodka and cherries combine with each other to create a new flavor. You can use these in place of maraschino cherries to give any drink an extra kick, or just eat a few of them by themselves- no drink required!

Whomever invented this boozy version of a cherry-limeade is a genius! Cherry limeade is a summer favorite, and this recipe captures that flavor and then adds a bit of a kick to it. It’s an adult drink that has all the flavors of childhood slushies in it.

This is a creative twist on the typical Cherry Bomb (cherry vodka and cola) that would be a hit at Halloween parties, or vampire-themed watch parties. Grenadine makes an appearance along with the cherry vodka and cola. It’s an easy way to make a layered drink because the grenadine naturally separates from the cola until it’s stirred up. So, no fancy bartending skills necessary! If you want to take this drink to the next level, try using a drunken cherry instead of a maraschino.

It’s the perfect drink to serve your honey on Valentine’s Day, special occasions, or just because.
