• Each year, I offer readers a lineup of cocktail creations for the holiday season, culled from combing through all sorts of sources -- my own archives, bar books, distillers' ideas, etc. -- even press releases from breathless PR people seeking to get their clients' products mentioned.
BLACK CHERRY MULE
Looking for something a little out of the ordinary? Something refreshing, but with a bit of a kick? Then you'll probably enjoy this cocktail if you don't mind doing a little shopping around to find the necessary fruit.
Ingredients:
2 ounces Belvedere vodka or your favorite brand
Ginger beer
6 fresh cherries
Dash of simple syrup
Dash of fresh lime juice
Dash of Peychaud bitters
Muddle all ingredients thoroughly. Then, shake and strain into a highball glass filled with fresh ice. Top with a float of ginger beer and garnish with a cherry. If you want to be very seasonable, use bright green or bright red maraschino cherries for the garnish.
