To serve moonshine cherries, you will need a glass, moonshine cherries, ice, lemon lime soda, a lime, and some garnishes. Start by adding 6 moonshine cherries to the glass. These cherries are soaked in moonshine, giving them a deliciously boozy flavor. Muddle the cherries in the glass to release their flavors and juices.
Next, add ice over top of the muddled cherries. This will help keep your cocktail cold and refreshing. The amount of ice you use is up to you, depending on how chilled you prefer your drink.
Once you have added the ice, it’s time to top off the glass with lemon lime soda. This fizzy and citrusy soda will add a bright and bubbly element to the cocktail. Pour the soda over the ice until the glass is nearly full, leaving some room for the lime juice.
To add a zesty kick to your moonshine cherry cocktail, squeeze the juice of half a lime over the top. The lime juice will add a tangy and tart flavor that complements the sweetness of the cherries and the soda. Feel free to adjust the amount of lime juice to suit your personal taste preferences.
Now it’s time to garnish your cocktail. Take the remaining 2 moonshine cherries and place them on a cocktail skewer or toothpick. This will add a visually appealing touch to your drink and also provide a tasty treat to enjoy while sipping. Add the cherry skewer to the glass, allowing it to rest on top of the ice.
For an extra touch of citrus, you can also garnish your moonshine cherry cocktail with a lime wedge. Simply cut a small wedge of lime and place it on the rim of the glass or float it in the cocktail. This will add a pop of color and an additional burst of lime flavor.
And there you have it – a delicious and refreshing moonshine cherry cocktail! The combination of muddled cherries, ice, lemon lime soda, lime juice, and garnishes creates a delightful drink that is perfect for sipping on a warm summer day or for enjoying during a cozy evening at home. Cheers!
