This delicious cherry bomb cocktail is named after the song Cherry Bomb by The Runaways, the song that inspired this Cherry themed Bridal Shower. The Cherry Bomb won't take you more than a few minutes to whip together. Now, that's my kind of cocktail! It can also be pre-made in bulk and served in a retro soda bottle for guests to enjoy poured over ice. Serve it with a skewer of maraschino cherries as a garnish and more on the side. After all, a drink served with cherries makes everything more fun.
- 1 oz Vodka
- .5 oz Cherry Liqueur
- 1 oz Limoncello
- .5 oz Lemon Juice
- 1oz Cloudy Apple Juice
- Maraschino Cherries
Muddle 2-3 real maraschino cherries in a cocktail shaker
Add the Vodka, Cherry Heering, Limoncello, lemon juice and cloudy apple juice.
Shake and strain onto crushed ice in a Plastic Wine Glass
Garnish with a skewer of glossy red maraschino cherries on a bamboo skewer and a paper straw. Serve with a small shot glass of extra cherries, for guests to add more cherries to taste. There is just something about maraschino cherries right? I love the retro vibe this shot glass gives the cocktail presentation.
The Cherry Bomb Cocktail can also be served in a retro soda pop bottle, which is then poured over ice when served. To further tie in the cherry theme, I added a cherry tag tied on with bakers twine. I also wrapped cherry washi tape around the bottle and added a "C" (for Cherry) monogram favor sticker.
