Method

Ingredients

1. In a cocktail shaker with ice, muddle cherries with vodka. (Apply some elbow grease to release those vibrant juices.) Allow to stand for a few minutes, then strain.

2. Shake the cherry-infused vodka with fresh lemon juice, a dash of bitters,  simple sugar syrup and 1 T egg white or aquafaba.

3. Pour into a tumbler and adorn your beautiful concoction with a Maraschino cherry or, better yet, more fresh cherries, threaded onto a cocktail stick. Perfection.
