Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup stemmed and pitted fresh sweet cherries
  • 1 - 2 tablespoons turbinado or other sugar in the raw
  • 1 small sprig mint, torn into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon fresh squeezed lemon juice or orange juice
  • 1/2 - 1 tablespoons Pernod (or Kirschwasser, for the timid)
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a mixing cup or mug, muddle the cherries, sugar, mint, lemon juice and booze until you have a nice amount of syrup.
  2. If you have a snow cone ice shaver machine that Santa brought one year, dig it out of the basement. Or in your blender, finely crush/shave the ice and quickly spoon or scoop into serving bowl, ideally a clear one so you can see all the dripping cherry goodness in about 30 seconds.
  3. Pour muddled cherry mixture, chunks and all, over ice.
  4. Add cream, if using.
  5. Add a straw and a spoon and have at it.
