Name: Sweet Cherry Gin & Tonic
Prep time: 10 min
Cook time: 5 min

I must admit, I’m not the biggest drinker. You know those under aged college girls who take a shot or two of cheap vodka and are falling all over the place? Well, that’s the relationship I have with alcohol now. Pathetic, I know…..BUT that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a great cocktail or even better, a nice cold beer! When it’s annoyingly hot out like its been lately I love being able to sit by the pool, sip on a refreshing cocktail, and not move for several hours….enter Sweet Cherry Gin and Tonic. I love this drink and it’s not too sugary sweet, I really hate that. You can use any kind of gin, but I prefer using “Tanqueray Rangpur” for this drink because of the great lime flavor infused into the gin which goes really well with the cherries! Here’s a tip: make pitchers of this drink at a time. Trust me :)
