Friday Night Cocktail should have been coming to you from the OXO Tower, but Ma wasn’t feeling up to it and we cancelled. This leaves me home wondering what to eat and drink.

Back in August I made some cherry vodka. For someone who doesn’t really drink vodka I have been gifted with an awful lot of it and I love cherries. So now I have it, what to do with it? Well I wanted a longer drink and this is what I came up with.

You could use the cherry/ginger wine/ vodka mixture and top up with fizz if you wanted.

What

1oz cherry vodka

1oz ginger wine

8 frozen cherries

Tonic or ginger ale

How

1) Put the cherries, ginger wine and vodka in a blender and blend

2) Strain out cherry pulp

3) Fill a long glass with ice, add the vodka/cherry mix

4) Top up with tonic or ginger ale

5) Enjoy

Now if anyone can think of a name for it, let me know!
