Sevilla Cherry Sour
Sevilla Cherry Sour is a cocktail that brings together the vibrant flavors of citrus and cherry in a way that is both refreshing and indulgent. It was born out of a summer evening experiment when Mom decided to try something new with her favorite gin. She combined the tangy zest of Tanqueray Flor de Sevilla Gin with the rich, fruity notes of Sloe Gin and Aperol, creating a beautiful harmony of flavors that dance on the palate.
Over time, Mom perfected this drink by adding a touch of Luxardo Cherry Syrup, a syrup so rich and sweet, it's often referred to as the "syrup of the gods." This addition elevated the cocktail to new heights, providing a depth of flavor that pairs perfectly with the fresh lemon juice. The Luxardo Cherry, which Mom uses as a garnish, is the final touch that makes this cocktail not only delicious but a feast for the eyes.
Whether you're hosting a dinner party or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home, the Sevilla Cherry Sour is the perfect cocktail to impress your guests or treat yourself. Its balance of sweet and tart, along with its stunning presentation, makes it a standout choice for any occasion. Try it out, and you'll find that this drink quickly becomes a staple in your cocktail repertoire.
