Featuring Montmorency Tart Cherries

Ingredients

10	dried Montmorency tart cherries
60 ml	100% tart cherry juice OR sparkling water
2 tbsp	freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tbsp	simple syrup
	Lots of ice for serving
	Simple Syrup
120 ml	water
120 ml	white granulated sugar
	See Note for instructions

Step 1
SOAK TART CHERRIES: Add the 10 dried cherries to the bottom of the glass. Add the tart cherry juice on top and let stand for 5 minutes. Then press cherries thoroughly with a muddler (Don’t have a muddler? Use the handle of a sturdy wooden spoon or ladle.) This is important to really get a rich tart cherry flavor.
Step 2
FINISH DRINK: Once cherries have been muddled, add in lemon juice and simple syrup (add to taste; you may want less or more depending on how sweet you like your drinks). Top the glass with lots of ice. Enjoy immediately, garnished with additional dried tart cherries if desired.
Step 3
Note: Simple syrup is just equal parts water and white granulated sugar. Combine equal parts of both in a small pot over medium high heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and then cool completely. You don’t have to bring it to a simmer or boil; simply heat until the liquid is clear and all sugar is dissolved. Store leftovers in an airtight or sterile container in the fridge for up to a month.
