Tonight's drink: Cherry Lemontrees!

They are pretty. And delicious!

Ok:

Infuse vodka with frozen cherries. (Eric is on a liquor-infusion kick right now. We need to free up a few bottles so he can try a batch with this year's habanero peppers.)

Make Meyer lemon simple syrup: Simmer and stir one part sugar and one part water with the zest of a lemon or three until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let it cool, then strain out the zest. (Regular lemon simple syrup will be ok too if Meyers aren't in season.)

Fill a big glass with ice.

Pour 2 oz. cherry vodka over the ice.

Pour 1 oz. simple syrup into the glass.

Squeeze half a regular lemon over that.

Top with fizzy water. (We like Topo Chico.)

Drink way too fast and make another.

It's pretty good with regular or raspberry vodka too. It would probably also be good with bourbon, but I haven't tried that.

If you're not feeling boozy, you can leave the vodka out altogether and have a nice kinda-fancy lemonade.

Oh, hey, my glass is getting low. See you later.
