Mocktail for a tough day 🍒 🍋‍🟩: • One Luxardo cherry + small spoonful of syrup

• Spritz of fresh lime juice

• A few dashes of your favourite bitters

• Your favourite tonic water

Can be adjusted endlessly! I use sparking water when I’m looking for less sugar and use amarena cherries if that’s all I can find.

Meresmiley · Answer

Tost!: These have changed my life! Each has a distinct taste, and they’re all delish. I’ve served them mixed with a splash of soda water and lime in a low ball glass and they’ve been a hit every time. I’ve intro’ed so many friends to them. We recently went to a party at a new friend’s house and she was serving the same drink - which she heard about through a mutual friend who had it at our house. The joy is spreading!

JFYI - you can also buy a solo bottle for less $$!
